Hmmm. Because they are accountable and responsible for what they do,
ultimately to the Australian people. There is absolutely no reason not to
release material that puts the record straight.

No-one assumed anything of the kind. There was a report indicating such
claims. The appropriate response is to deny the claims and, since there is
a film of the events, to release the film to the public.

Yet again, unwarranted projection on your part.

They have the "evidence" of what they say happened, with the burns on their
hands. The navy has film. The navy should release the film. How hard is
that to understand?

Our military do all sorts of things. When allegations are made against
them, there is no automatic presumption that the allegations are false. If
there is physical evidence demonstrating the falsehood (eg a film), the
appropriate response is to release the film.

PKB. You choose to whine when you get your nose rubbed in shit, but you
freely abuse anyone who takes a different view to you.

You can run, but you can't hide.

See above.

It doesn't need a press conference to release a film.

Priest, follow thy own sermon.
