Mobile network has been shut down in the area as has phone and electricity to the building.
Doubt either way they are checking comments section for intelligence updates.


(Don't know accuracy of this statement)

if anyone sees anything suspicious they should report it to the national security hotline - 1800 123 400.

PM just did a Clive Palmer and left the interviews.
He was just giving a statement, not taking questions. He said he'll leave that to NSW Police.
