10:06pm: Here is the Herald's editorial on today's siege, running online and in tomorrow's newspaper.
The next test is to ensure we see this sad event for what it is – and what it is not. While there were a number of instances on Monday when Sydneysiders and the media jumped to conclusions about the link between this event and other incidents around the city, in most cases people were rightfully reluctant to jump to conclusions about the motivations of the gunman or the extent of his plans.
Nonetheless, a temptation lingers in the community to catastrophise about such criminal behaviour; to believe that because we have endured one siege from at least one deranged individual, we are at risk of many more. Rationally, that is highly unlikely.

I went to that Lindt cafe on Friday and from what I remember it had LOADS of chocolate, ice cream, cakes, macarons and coffee. I don't remember it having sandwiches or normal food so tbh I don't know if they'll be getting anything other than chocolate. But hopefully they are being fed well (((((((( This is so traumatising!

hopefully they resolve this issue before midnight man. Feel sorry for the police and the lindt employees who have to stay in that situation all night.

The 3rd guy who escape or got released, nearly slipped over after his way out from the evac door.

I really hope so :/// They would keep changing the police, so that's a plus.
And for them to sleep in there would be terrible.
Everything needs to return to normal

From the sounds of it; if they continue the waiting game nothing bad should happen...I really hope so :/// They would keep changing the police, so that's a plus.

Sydney is a safe & welcoming city, proud of its diversity. Great to see our best nature on show at a time like this.

Me too. Let's meet up and hide somewhere in fear.
I hope this gets resolved before tomorrow morning.

If the gunman and the hostages uses these as the source of food, everyone will get diabetes..I went to that Lindt cafe on Friday and from what I remember it had LOADS of chocolate, ice cream, cakes, macarons and coffee.
