Like when I moved to Queensland, I worked a full-time job during the week and then I worked split shift on the mines on the weekend just so I...

I think I didn't have to think.

I could just keep going.

I get that.

Yeah.

So then that's why I think everything came crashing down when they rang and said, OK, we've got him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It wasn't that long.

I feel like it might have been like around the eight-month mark.

So I ended up moving from where I was to the Gold Coast because I was so remote and then that way I could fly easily back and forth.

They didn't really ask me to go back over it.

And like I did say, there was a lot kind of missing in my statement.

Because when you first go in, like it's very like bits and pieces and they even noted that in the statement.

But then going back, I was like, well, it's six years later.

I don't want to put stuff in now and seem like I'm trying to throw it.

And I think that's a big mistake that a lot of us make is you think, oh, if you put it in retrospectively, are they then going to question it?

Legitimacy of it.

Yeah.

And I didn't want to throw anything off.

Because were you going to give evidence in court?
