Things that come to mind.

1) There is a pre-disposition from "our ABC" to over sensationalise everything. The ABC is supposed to be objective and balanced but they are not.

And now SAS

The ABC seems to be in the business of ruining people, destroying industries and seldom held accountable. The rest of our media follow suit too.

2) It is very easy using selective video editing to stitch up people. The ADF is full of Alfa males, whiteanting someone is second nature. I wouldn't be surprised if within the ADF there wasn't maleficence involved in these claims.

3) As I understand, the Afgans have a sniff of financial compensation, questions of their honesty and credibility must be raised.
