Parliament in lockdown

Nope, it isn’t the budget. It appears that there is a bomb scare. At the beehive there is an evacuation. It appears that people in the rest of the parliamentary complex are not allowed to leave, and no-one is allowed to enter.

Pretty freaky how easy it is to shut down the a core of government. It will probably be someone with a forgotten parcel…

The Beehive has been evacuated after a suspicious package was found on the fifth floor.

Among Cabinet Ministers on the fifth floor are Paula Bennett, Steven Joyce and Anne Tolley.

Ummmm but assuming it is legit, it is interesting to speculate on who the target is.

Update: 1030: all over now.
