Royal Australian Navy personnel have conducted underwater searches of the Brisbane River in support of the Queensland Police Service as the city gears up to host the G20 Leaders Summit over 15 and 16 November 2014. The sailors are assisting police with maintaining safe waterways using specialised search equipment to ensure the safety of delegates and members of the public attending the various G20 events. The role of Defence in the G20 security arrangements relates to the provision of niche capabilities in support of major events consistent with its obligations under the Australian Government Crisis Management Framework. The Australian Government has deployed appropriate ADF assets available to support the G20 taskforce and civilian police to provide a secure environment for the conduct of G20 events.
