A senior police inspector has defended the lower priority given to an emergency call alerting them to threats from the Christchurch terrorist.
It came during the second day of the Christchurch inquest into the mosque mass shootings that claimed 51 lives.
The court heard how the Prime Minister's office was e-mailed a copy of the gunman's manifesto moments before the attacks occurred, prompting a 111 call to police.
Questions were asked of a senior officer as to why the forewarning wasn't given the highest priority.
Adam Burns was in court.
