10:30 A second review released of the March 15th mosque attacks
An independent review of the police's response to the March 15th mosque attacks has called its response exemplary, but found it didn't have enough staff to deal with the number of inquiries from victims' families. The release of the review this afternoon follows the Royal Commission's report yesterday into the mass shootings that killed 51 people. Karyn presents responses to both reports.
