A secure response would be sent to the Australian government. Boeing would give its condolences to the Australians for the loss of their Attorney General and would grant Australia permission to produce the aircraft without cost due to the circumstances. If there were any questions from the Australians, Boeing would be prepared to answer them if need be. Otherwise, the Australians were issued a LPL for one Boeing 737-700.
