Cant we live in Australia without religious indifference ffs? If the perpetrator wants to promote his own extremist views, he can go back to his own country because I'll tell you, not even 0.1% of Australia's population would support the faggot.

Mike Baird says an exclusion zone will remain in place around Martin Place tomorrow.

"So if you work in this exclusion zone, I will ask you to work from home tomorrow.

"The transport network will operate largely as you would expect but just to make sure, check the Transport NSW website to get details on your journey."

Don't ask where I heard this from, but the perpetrator is subject to mental illnesses.

P.S. I wanna rep +10 if I could

Commissioner Scipione opens his remarks thus:

Can I start by saying our plan, our only goal tonight and for as long as this takes, is to get those people that are currently caught in that building, out of there safely. That remains our number one priority and nothing will change.
I’m sure there are many questions that you might have for us and I’m not going to necessarily be in a position to give you that information because I will not be going into the tactics or strategies that we are employing – suffice to say we have large numbers of police, they are in contact and we are working to resolve this just as quickly as we possibly can.

Andrew Scipione addressing the issue of hostages contacting the media:

"If people are being contacted by hostages, particularly the media, we would ask that you put those people and ask them to ensure that the man inside speaks to police, speaks to our trained negotiators.

"They are the people that can resolve this, that can help them in this situation.

"Certainly they are available and would be looking to talk to the man that has got control of that particular building right now."
by Daniel Franklin 8:28 PM



Asked about the gunman's motives, Andrew Scipione said:

'We are not in the business of speculating, we are in the business of investigating.

"We will continue this investigation, we will get to the bottom of it and at this stage, all I can assure you, we are doing absolutely all we can and we will do even more to guarantee the safe release of these people."

The police commissioner is asked why the lights have gone off in the cafe in Martin Place. He won’t enter discussion about that.

When the time is right we can talk about that.
Q: What do you know of the condition of the hostages inside?

I understand no-one has been injured. And we are grateful.
