Abbott promised the Australian people “I will not rest until I am confident you are as safe as you can be.” He also revealed he had spoken to US president Barack Obama after the siege, with the US promising to assist the Australian investigation.

That sounds a bit weird to me.

Parker, who has covered major news stories around the world for the network, looks back now and remembers one of his producers walking back into the studio at that time, a "Lindt hot chocolate in hand".

Soon that name - Lindt - would consume his every thought and movement. For the next 16 hours, he and a police sniper did their best to monitor the movements of gunman Man Haron Monis, who was holding 17 hostages inside the popular Lindt Chocolat Cafe located directly opposite the Channel Seven building...

... When a single gunshot rang out just after 2am on Tuesday, police quickly sprang into action, he said.

"We heard a shot, he [the sniper] confirmed 'Hostage down, window two'. Six seconds later, we saw the special forces guys breach. It was ... pretty loud, pretty frightening, it's like nothing I've ever seen before, ever.

"The moment he [Monis] crossed the line, of taking down a hostage, it was a forced action from police. They, in my mind, and probably in anyone else's seeing it, I don't think they were going to sit around and wait for another hostage to have the same fate."

I think his motives were very clear. A very genuine concern for the the effect of caffeine poisoning on the human body. We are lucky to have such visionaries in our midst.

Well, thank goodness for that. Glad he was so willing to kill people to get his message out.

Sydney siege: Muslim funeral directors tell authorities to dump Man Haron Monis' body 'in the s***house'

Australian Muslim funeral directors have vowed not to accept the body of Sydney gunman Man Haron Monis, saying authorities should dump his corpse at sea or “chuck him in the bloody s***house”.

The 50-year-old was killed by police after two hostages died during a 16-hour-siege at a café earlier this week.

His body will be released before Christmas as soon as autopsies are completed but no one has claimed it, the Australian Daily Telegraph reported...

It is also a lovely kick in the mouth for all the people trying to tar the Muslim community with this one guys actions.

Or if they do accept the evidence it will be with an added qualifier that it isn't enough so they can continue their rant. Others speak from ignorance and can be shown the evidence and will change their tune.
