Boongs?
Natives' word.
Do we know what it means?
It's 'brother'.
We'd be wiped off the map up there
without 'em.
We need to be saying that.
And everyone back here
complaining about bloody smokes,
the price of things.
They have no idea
how much danger this country's in.
Didn't get the half of it.
Sorry. Thought it was better
than this, Ken.
Well, it lacks a bit of action.
You wait and see what we do
with it.
Yeah, well, it's just not there.
Not how it was.
But it will be.
If you introduce it, just the way
you've been telling it to us.
What, on screen?
No, no. I don't think
I'd come out well enough, Ken.
But you've got conviction
in your voice. That's all we need.
Not if I make a muck of it.
We'll bring you up to scratch.
Go stretch your legs.
Terry, you and I can move on to
the second film.
Put up the commando footage.
Terrific action.
I missed the real thing.
They're re-enacting it for me here.
Yeah, well, you wouldn't know.
Look at their faces,
how confident they are.
It's not how it is
when they go into battle, Ken.
Well, it'll work for us.
There's your out, Terry.
Who's this fella?
Hmm...
No, hang on.
This is from the lookout tree.
It's gotta go. We can't use that
shot until it's cleared, so...
It's on the dope sheet.
Yeah, I've got it as a cut.
I've seen that image before.
Tuesday.
The stupid,
incompetent bloody goats!
Mr Hawes!
Sir, I gave those men my word.
They trusted me to make sure
their lookout
wasn't given away to the Japs.
I can't understand
how it could have been missed.
Oh!
If it's our mistake.
I can't see how
if we'd been properly informed.
It's written on the dope sheet,
for God's sake.
'Pictures from scouts' tree
cannot be used
until they cease to use this place,
as it would endanger scouts' lives. '
I mean, how much clearer
does it have to be?
There's no need for that tone,
Mr Parer.
If indeed you're correct,
it's most unfortunate.
Of course, we'll investigate
how to...
I don't care how it happened,
Mr Hawes.
Just get the pictures removed
from the press immediately.
so the boys can be warned
if it's not too late.
I'll decide the appropriate course
of action, Mr Parer. Not you!
You are an employee
of this department.
You do the job you're assigned
and go where you're told to.
When you're directed to return
to Brisbane, that's where you go.
And don't you think a cable
supposedly from General Rowell
fools anyone.
If anything's happened to those men,
God forgive him.
Keep moving. He's still watching.
And you'd better know that
