And I think it was Queensland back then were on the ground.
It might have been South Australia.
So they followed us.
But on a daily basis, I would go into Christchurch Police Station, which was probably about a 12- or 13-storey police building, which was on a lean.
And on the fourth floor, I think it was the fourth floor, we had it set up as a command centre.
And you'd be sitting there and I was sat next to a military, one of their military guys, and the bottles of water that were sat on the table, as soon as the water started to move, you went, oh, shit, here comes another tremor.
And the place would shake.
It would shake.
Like just trying to hold your nerve was unbelievable.
It was already leaning and the top part of it had collapsed.
And like I remember the military commander, he looked at me and he said, I can't fucking believe what we're doing in this building.
And he was right.

We did a lot of strategic planning for New Zealand.
It was a really good learning experience from my aspect too.
And the learning experience that I got from that and I shared with the other senior police that were with me was the fact that I think as New South Wales Police we're very action orientated.
Here's a problem.
Let's plan our way through it and get it done ASAP.
New Zealand police were more sort of casual, laid back.
