As someone said this event was botched from the beginning—I mean, Lindt cafe when the RBA is nearby?

You have clearly never visited the Lindt cafe. It is a landmark. An icon. Whenever I'm in Sydney, I say -- hey, let's go to Darling Harbour and visit the Lindt cafe (different branch, same quality).

Send 'em both in.

The only thing that would be better would be sending Mr Abbott in.

How many hostage-takers are there?

Have they made any demands yet?

Are the police in commucation with them on their mobiles?

Has a car parked in the neighbourhood been traced to them?

Simon Bouda from CH9 said they're being VERY careful on what they say about what they see happening outside because it's believed that the gunman inside is watching news telecasts of this incident and they don't want to tip off the gunman by broadcasting Police movements.

I'm sure we will. The gunmen have asked to speak to Mr Abbott.

If he resolves this hostage crisis, he'll be seen as a tall glass of water.

Anybody carrying a kalashnikov can probably get into any building he wants.

The speaker I referred to mentioned a likely target was a place that carried authority, the RBA or some of the other buildings in/around Martin Place.

I am getting rather tired of the abuse from the right whingers here and will refer any further abuse to 2-3 Mods—fair warning!
