At 09h52 this morning I was interpreting a Senate Caucus meeting when we were told to evacuate as quickly as we could.
It turns out a gunman had shot a soldier standing guard at a war memorial nearby and had then proceeded to storm the main entrance of the parliament building, one floor up from our committee room.
After 11 hours of lockdown in a safe-room, we were let out; so I thought I would let you all know that I'm safe and sound ! Unfortunately, whilst evacuating, I forgot my sandwich in the booth :(

I'm happy you are ok, man.
