MCBRIDE POLICE STATEMENT
“I take truth in the ADF very seriously… I’m firmly of the opinion that I was doing my duty as a soldier… As a legal officer I had a legal obligation to report crimes … I never swore an oath that I would cover-up crimes by the government…I always thought I’d be vindicated…I don’t think I did the wrong thing.”
