The New South Wales premier characterised an explosives-laden caravan as a terrorism event because that was the briefing provided by police, his chief of staff has told an inquiry, despite the police telling the public at the same time there were “alternative lines” of inquiry.
On Friday, five staffers from the offices of the NSW premier, Chris Minns, and the police minister, Yasmin Catley, appeared before the inquiry after they were threatened with arrest for failing to attend last week.
