It might not have been in that conversation. I spoke to him a number of times throughout the day. I spoke to him soon after that and remained in contact and met him later. As the day went on and situations arose there was a concern. I mentioned earlier there are number of international protection centres in the area and quite a high volume of accommodation centres that have international protection applicants and others in them. It was expressed to me throughout the day there was a policing plan in place to respond to any issues that might arise. I do not know whether that was in the first, second, third or fourth phone call.
