Those were the words of retired accountant Ian Paterson, when he was advised by the Queensland Right to Information and Privacy Unit, it would not provide him an extended copy of CCTV footage of an alleged incident involving himself and Neville Butcher.
Initially, Mr Paterson was provided a copy of 15 seconds of CCTV footage captured on October 21, 2020, at the Boyne Island Community Centre early voting booth, following a request to the RtIPU.
Not satisfied with the footage he was provided as it stopped a split-second before the alleged incident, Mr Paterson then applied for CCTV of 10 minutes before and after the initial footage he was provided.
