At that point he refused to take the phone and I think it was then that he made that comment, come and have a beer with me and we will talk about it.

He was also refusing to effectively show the police members his hands and that he wasn't armed properly.

So after about two hours, the Special Operations Group officers got permission from the commander to put gas into that container.

So people may have seen those photos of the Bearcat.

It effectively pulls up to the side of the shipping container and it's got this long arm attached to it and it pierced the shipping container and filled it with gas.

which has essentially forced Freeman to come out of that sliding door.

I think it was within two minutes he sort of had come out and faced those police officers, and this is where things really started to escalate.

We heard that when he...

came out of the shipping container.

On this occasion, he had a green bag in his hands and it was in front of him.

And he walked out and he turned to his left away from the Bearcat and he then allegedly sees another group of police officers.

At this point, we hear that he raises the gun with his right hand and police believe that he discharged it at that point and then they return fire.

Yeah, we learnt yesterday that eight special operations group officers returned fire after they believed that Freeman initially fired first and they fired multiple rounds.

We heard that Freeman then dropped to the ground at that point.

He was assessed by medics as part of the special operations group and we heard that paramedics were also stationed nearby and then they came and assessed him, but his injuries were described as non-survivable.

No, we didn't hear much about those details yesterday in terms of numbers.

It's interesting when we heard about the Paul Punker incident, we did get really specific numbers.

That's not unsurprising when it comes to these sorts of operations not to get those details.

That's not to say it may not come out in the full coronial inquest, but yesterday those details certainly weren't revealed.

Yeah, it was quite specific language that they used around that.
