A bit of background on Martin Place in Sydney where a cafe is under siege with staff and customers taken hostage by people who hung a black flag with white writing in the window:

Martin Place is the business and banking centre of Sydney.

The Reserve Bank of Australia is on Martin Place, while the state Parliament House sits up the top of the Martin Place on Macquarie Street. Government ministers have their offices in nearby in Governor Macquarie Tower – buildings which they share with Sydney’s top law firms. Channel Seven has a recording studio in the middle of Martin Place and the high end retailers – including those housed in the historic GPO building - are clustered towards the George Street end.

At night Martin Place bars are full of bankers, lawyers, politicians, their advisers and the media. Likewise – during the day – coffee shops such as Lindt are popular meeting spots. - from Brigid Delaney

They know not to mess with us, southport is more likely

SKY NEWS is saying the hostage takers want to talk to the prime minister, Tony Abbott, live on air on radio and has set explosive devices around the city

I just put in on the news :sad:

I hope they use sometype of knockout gas and save the hostages.

Drew. 14-12-2014 11:19 PM
This is going to go on for bloody ages

King Gizzard 14-12-2014 11:19 PM
They're surely going to have to pay a ransom whatever that may be, they can't have people dying on live television coverage

I work in a cafe, this is mental.

y colleague, Shalailah Medhora, is at parliament house in Canberra. She reports:

Just spoke to the Speaker’s office re: Parliamentary security. They beefed up security in October, adding armed officers inside the building as well as outside. They’ll take advice from security agencies as to whether they need to increase security today - so far they’re sticking with the security they’ve already got. Speaker Bronwyn Bishop’s office reiterates: “Parliament House is safe”.

The Deputy Prime Minister’s office has refuted reports Sydney’s airspace is closed. The airspace over Sydney CBD is not in shut down. There are police helicopters in the air so air traffic is being rerouted accordingly.

From social media:

Unconfirmed: It appears the terrorist is wearing a backpack and vest. Speculation that he is wearing a bomb and/or a Kevlar vest

I feel ill, it's so horrible. I totally agree with you, these terrorists are savages, there's no reasoning with them. I really hopes this ends well, but I fear that won't happen.

Any survivors should be demanding free Lindt chocolate for life
