The Australian brings word that soldiers are going to be rappelling out of Blackhawk helicopters over Parliament House on Friday as part of a training exercise.
While the note states “this training is for exercise purposes only and is not in response to any specific security threat or situation,” it immediately excited comment amongst parliamentarians.
The Black Hawks will make a number of approaches over Parliament House and descend well below the top of the famous flagpole, hovering as low as 15 metres above the roofs of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
So don’t go panicking.
