Ah, such an Aussie thing :-

Harking back to something mentioned earlier in the press conference and the AFP media release earlier today, the idea for the AN0M app was developed 'over a couple of beers' between Australia and US law enforcement officers in 2018.

"I wasn't there, but as you know, some of the best ideas come over a couple of beers," Commissioner Kershaw said.
