Ms Cliona Richardson:

It depends on what manifests out of the disinformation. If there is a call to protest or, as I said, misinformation or disinformation around a certain accommodation centre and a protest occurs, we obviously have to police that protest. Resources are taken from something else in order to police that. In addition, if there are threats or something else that comes out of that, there is obviously an investigative process it has to be put through. Resources are being utilised and brought from one area to another in order to try to deal with the manifestation and the impact that it has on our policing. I cannot say X amount is involved in this or X amount in that. It just depends. Some parts of the policing requirement are reactive and others proactive. At all times, our police response fully and robustly investigates everything that manifests out from the impact of the disinformation.
