They also fear the decision may have hindered the police investigation during the crucial weeks following Tyrrell's disappearance. But the NSW government released a statement saying its "key priority is to always act in the interests of the safety and wellbeing of children and not in any way to jeopardise ongoing police investigations".<ref name="The Australian2">{{cite news|url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/daniel-morcombes-dad-critical-of-gag-on-williams-parents/news-story/3f72de598e8911b15a852140629a0e9c|title=Daniel Morcombe's dad critical of gag on William's parents|date=18 April 2015|work=The Australian - Greg Bearup, South Asia correspondent and Dan Box, Crime reporter, Sydney|accessdate=22 April 2015}}</ref>
