 Thank you. I'm sure you are all familiar with the Assistant Commissioner Mike Condon, State Crime Operations Command, who throughout the entirety of this investigation has managed the state crime component of the joint relationship with North Coast region in the investigation of the disappearance of Daniel Morkham. We just wanted to give you an update on the search activity as it is at this time. Police and SES personnel continue to search a remote area of bushland near BOR looking for evidence. At this time, nothing of significance has been located. We expect the search to be very protracted and it's likely to take at least several weeks and probably a number of months to complete. Once the current search zone is completed, we will expand the perimeter as required and this may include local water courses. We are committed to a complete and professional search effort and will devote all necessary resources to this task for as long as it takes. We will not leave the scene until we have exhausted all possible areas of examination. While we recognise media and public interest in the search, it is important that the team focuses on the task and are able to work uninterrupted. Because of the remote location, the passage of time and environmental factors, the search will be intensive and difficult. Because of these difficulties, it is possible that despite all of our efforts, we may end up finding little or no evidence at the scene. The Morkham family will of course be updated on any significant developments. As I indicated the other day, while we're happy to take questions from you, any questions in relation to the investigation itself or anything leading up to the arrest, we are not able to comment on because the person is now before the criminal justice system. As indicated, we have a current search grid. When we have completed that part of the work, we have a plan and when required, we will expand the search area and that may include local water courses. How big will the potential search area be, or can you put a figure up to the point? Because that's unknown at this stage, obviously we're interested in the current search perimeter and as the deputy has indicated, if there is a requirement to escalate the search perimeters, then we will do so. And what about Kostinell on the ground, are you getting more police and SCSE? Yeah, that's scalable at the moment. We've got 45 SCS and 20 police up there today and there are a number of specialist police and other specialists are supporting us in the current operation. Can you say like how far north you would go or south, just to pin it down on this stage? Look, as I said, it's an unknown at this stage. We're focusing on the current area of search and once we are completely satisfied that no further searches can take place in that area, we will decide as to what other area is, if any, you may need searching. We can talk in downstream. I don't think we can make a call on that at the moment. As I said, we have experts at the primary scene that are giving us guidance in relation to our search areas and we'll be guided by them as the days progress. That's an unknown at this stage. How big is the current search area? It's a combination of probably the first thing, the searching on hands and walking through. It's a difficult task. It's quite a muddy area and those that are involved at the moment are using a lot of manual labour to bring the product up to an area where it can be thoroughly searched by specialist officers with the QPS. How is everyone involved, SES and police, holding up against physically and mentally? Very enthusiastic about the task. It's a commitment to the SES and those officers, some of which have been there for quite some time. Some we expect that will be there for several weeks, possibly months. And are they indicated that everyone involved at the moment wants to stay until the end? They're rotating through, particularly from the SES perspective. But we've had outstanding service over the years from the SES and there's no shortage of volunteers. Do you hope, or what are you hoping exactly to find there, I know this metal chip doesn't being used, so are there other evidence that you're looking for as well? Look, as the deputies indicated, we're before the court now. We won't be making any comment about what our intentions are in relation to that place. The divers have been involved in the sense of giving us some guidance in relation to the extent of the search where there's water and it may be that we need to involve those divers at a later stage if the search is expanded. Out of this stage, the water's reasonably shallow. We're working at the moment and it's unknown as to the depth of water as we progress out. We are currently conducting a thorough search and that's all we can make of this. Any comment about this? Sorry, I missed you. We have not at this stage. How difficult are those conditions? How hard is it to be effective in your search? It's labour intensive as you would appreciate. The mud is quite heavy and once the mud is moved from the lower area up to where it's been examined, that's quite a simple non-labour process but certainly the initial stage is quite labour intensive and it's a credit to those people who have worked long hours to date to progress the search. Had this area been searched previously? I'm not making any comment about any searches. How big is your search area? How many kilometres? Kilometres. Or is it smaller than that? No, it's the primary search as indicated by the air photos from media is a good indication of the search area. So you already have that information. Mason, do they... Well, the immediate search area which is what I call the primary search area could be determined that perhaps as bad as big as this room but of course that could expand at a later date. Oh look, there's a combination of things right there to the standard shovel up to quite sophisticated equipment that is able to separate mud and water. That's exactly right. And about how much are you getting through each day, is it possible to say, you know, it's taking five hours to do a square metre or...? I'm not able to say as you would have seen from the footage, it's quite a difficult area because of the water and the swamp type environment that we're operating in. How long exactly has the search been going here? I'm not going to answer that question. Are there any plans to drain the dam? Can't make that decision at this stage. But basically you just don't want people to be expecting big things in the next hour or days? I think that's a very fair comment and we're just trying to put before you some of the difficulties that do confront us. As I said, the passage of time, some environmental factors and events that have occurred, weather events over the years, obviously have had a significant impact on the current search area and other areas that we may move to. So quite a lot has changed and so we just want to make it clear to everybody that we expect this is going to take quite a long time and that the expectations as to what we might find are going to be influenced by those factors that I've just spoken about. It must be ladled in a haystack stuff, isn't it? No, well it's just as I say the area has changed over time because of those factors. So what it was like eight years ago is clearly like the most parts of the landscape is not exactly what it's like today and those things all impact on the difficulty of the search activity. You can see that when do you actually give up? Not for a long time yet. As long as it takes, whatever it takes, that's our commitment. So until the whole area is searched? Until we have exhausted every possible avenue of search and we will not walk away from that search until there is no avenue left and no hope left of us finding something and that's our very clear commitment. Do you make it clear from the beginning to Bruce and Denise that you may find nothing there? Oh, let Mike. I've spoken to both Bruce and Denise and they're aware of the challenges in front of us and after visiting the scene yesterday they understand the commitment of the Queensland Police Service and all those agencies assisting us and they are totally supportive of our current position.
