Lions escape their enclosure at Taronga.

Ironically the next episode of Taronga Who’s Who In The Zoo features this lion enclosure (11 Nov) - surprised Nine haven’t pulled up that footage to show.

Update: Now reported that lions back in exhibit.



From Taronga: Who’s Who - deals with exactly this enclosure.


Update - 4 cubs were part of the 5 that escaped. They are the subject of the next Taronga show.

Sounds like there’s a police press conference in about 25 mins. Wonder if it’ll be carried live anywhere.

I’d imagine ABC will carry it, currently as breaking news on the bottom and Bev introduced it at the start with more details to follow as it develops.

This will be a big story in the next 12-24hrs

ABC are going live to the press conference soon.

I’m assuming Nine Late News will be covering this?

Where is Seven’s The Latest?? :man_shrugging:

Seven ran a news update. The info wasn’t a lot more than was reported in the 6pm news. They are the only ones with vision from the area.

ABC news; 2 police officers dead plus one member of the public.

Statement is being read but no questions.

Ironically the first main channel in Brisbane to report that 2 officers were shot dead was 10. Seven has not reported this in their update and Nine’s late news is an hour away.

About 9:45 pm local time so it would have been first broadcast in Sydney I expect at 9:45pm AEDT.
