A 🧵

At approximately 1.30pm on the 23rd of December 2021 emergency services were called to a fire which had broken out on the 3rd and 4th levels of the Park Hotel, 701 Swanston Street, Carlton.
This isn’t about the fire.
This is about what happened afterwards.
Photos emerged of emergency vehicles in the street, taken from both inside and outside the Park Hotel. Police stood in the doorway and the occupants, approximately 34 refugees, were shuffled down to level one of the building, but no one was evacuated.
No one left the building except for one man who had suffered smoke inhalation. He was hospitalized.
The Evacuation Plan is quite clear that the Assembly Point was Lincoln Square Park. But no one was assembled there.
