One of New South Wales most senior police officer’s had doubts the Dural caravan plot was a terrorist threat from the “very early stages of the investigation”, but says that theory was not completely ruled out until 21 February.
The deputy police commissioner, David Hudson, confirmed during a dramatic budget estimates hearing that police briefings to the government about the caravan found laden with explosives on the outskirts of Sydney would have not “categorically” said if the plot was a terrorist threat or criminal plot.
