Posting this on behalf of another member who's nowhere near a computer.
There's been a suspect package found at the International Terminal, which is being evacuated.
Police have blocked Horrie Miller Drive and are not letting anyone through.
There's also a Jetstar plane (I think he said) returning to Perth with hydraulic problems, just to add to the fun.

Well whats the worry to people in the Terminal if its out on the tarmac, its fallen off a baggage trolly or a air side worker has not loaded it aboard an Aircraft, common practise when I worked for Qantas years ago.

* The Air New Zealand flight that had arrived just as all this started was towed to aerobridge 16 in terminal three, and a temporary customs, immigration and quarantine area has been set up.
* An OzJet flight that was behind the AirNZ flight has been sent to bay 17.
* A Tiger Airways flight is due at around 9pm and is likely to also be sent to terminal three for processing.
* Qantas have advised all their international passengers to go home and check with reservations regarding rescheduling flights.

Well since we're not there, we can't possibly know. But I wouldn't imagine they'd go to all this trouble just for the hell of it.
