The court heard that Elbit had initially supplied the police with footage from nine cameras on a USB stick, however the footage was not playable on police computers so Grant was instructed to attend the site in person to recover it.

When asked by Menon how she conducted this process, Grant said she was initially shown footage from nine cameras and then requested to see more. She said she viewed the footage from all 53 cameras on multiple monitors on a video wall in the Elbit Systems' security control room.

She said that she tried to download footage from all 53 cameras, but this proved to be impossible as it would take around 24 days.

Grant said she subsequently chose to download footage from the initial nine, and then from a further three cameras she had identified as relevant.

When questioned by prosecutor Deanna Heer KC, Grant said that in the 11 years she had served in her role she had "never come across a system as frustrating and as difficult to download".

Menon noted that Grant did not obtain footage from two cameras on the factory floor. When asked if she had asked anyone in the Elbit Systems control room to explain the absence of the footage from these cameras, she responded "no".

Menon suggested that Grant was perhaps never shown the footage from the two cameras.

They have made it worse and worse by doubling down each time they get blocked punishing OAPs for wearing a T Shirt supporting the group. Its now got to the stage multiple senior members of the sitting government need to resign over this, not just the PM if they can't make this stick.
