00:00I've said all along he's made a mistake, we've accepted he's made a mistake, we'll

00:04accept whatever penalty comes our way. We believe you know that the first one

00:09was you know a little bit harsh so we've appealed that which I think is our right

00:14that's the whole process. Even if you look at the punishment it's at the low

00:19end of the scale so even the people who have all the information have

00:22adjudicated that way. I get that people you know want to burn people at the

00:27stake these days but as I keep saying you know part of this process if you

00:32want real sort of education and and progress is to understand that when

00:39somebody makes a mistake and they pay the penalty part of that is education

00:44and hopefully treating them in the way that people see that's the way forward

00:48so I whether it's Rodrigo or anyone else as I said I'm old enough in life I've

00:56made bigger mistakes than that mate but I was allowed to learn from them and

00:59hopefully I'm a better human being because of that.
