No the cable and everything is perfect in the car, it's just the situation that is happening requires me to get under the bonnet of my car without the key

I need to open this bonnet without causing damage, I've managed to find the cable that runs to the bonnet latch (on driver side ), I've pulled down the guard as much as it can on top if the wheel and put vice grips / multi grips on the cable and tugged on the way it would go to open , all it did was pull the casing around the wire and when I took the grips off, it fell like a I had crushed the protective casing around the wire, I need a way to open this, I can't get under the car because it is parked in a awkward position and I can't jack it up, suggestions guys AND smashing my window will not be acceptable

so for you to say smashing the window to get inside is not acceptable.
why don't u contact RACV so they can get you access into your vehicle without damage.
and they you can access the bonnet latch.

I don't think so I thought that their roadside assist was 24/7

roadside for them is 24/7.

This does sound sketchy. Certain locksmiths have after hours services, too

NOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY lmao, the story was that i was trying to take my bonnet support off, and my keys were in my hand just after locking the door, and i completely forgot that i left them on the fuse box and then i closed the bonnet.
