A recap on the siege in Martin Place

Hours after five hostages escaped from the Lindt cafe, one of the remaining women switched off the lights inside.
Premier Mike Baird has asked Sydneysiders to go about their day as usual on Tuesday
There is an exclusion zone near the cafe, bordered by Pitt, Elizabeth, Hunter and King Streets.
NSW Police have activated Task Force Pioneer, which they use in terrorism related incidents.
A coalition of Muslim groups has expressed their shock and horror at the siege. They have urged calm.
Sydneysiders have united under the hashtag #illridewithyou offering company to Muslims wearing religious garments as they travel in the city

[22:02] SKY News National are reporting that this is definitely going to be a marathon. NSW Police are willing to wait out as long as required to ensure that this event ends as peacefully as possible. There is speculation that this siege will continue as far in as tomorrow. /u/losttheory
