Reading from an answer to a question on notice from this May, the Official Secretary to the Governor-General, Mr Mark Fraser LVO, OAM, has advised that the Governor-General has not participated in any counterterrorism exercises but goes on to note that, of course, there is a procedure. The burden of my question goes to the government's plans to make sure not so much that the states are exercised or that the federal-state interaction is exercised but more so that alternative arrangements are practised out into the future.
