00:00I've said all along, he's made a mistake, we've accepted he's made a mistake.
00:04We'll accept whatever penalty comes our way.
00:07We believe that the first one was a little bit harsh,
00:12so we've appealed that, which I think is our right.
00:14That's the whole process.
00:16Even if you look at the punishment, it's at the lower end of the scale.
00:20So even the people who have all the information have adjudicated that way.
00:24I get that people want to burn people at the stake these days,
00:28but as I keep saying, part of this process,
00:32if you want real education and progress,
00:38is to understand that when somebody makes a mistake,
00:41and they pay the penalty, part of that is education,
00:44and hopefully treating them in a way that people see that's the way forward.
00:49Whether it's Rodrigo or anyone else, as I said,
00:54I'm old enough in life, I've made bigger mistakes than that, mate.
00:57But I was allowed to learn from them,
00:59and hopefully I'm a better human being because of that.
