    That's the best one I think. Other news sources are getting bits and pieces but the ABC is pretty much like the PBS in the US. They won't get all the info straight away but they do report it unbiasedly.

    Ch 9 just said they've talked to several of the hostages at the behest of the hostage taker. They heard his voice in the background telling them what to say. But they're not going to release his demands.

    Ch 9 are saying there were two ladies who contacted 9 News with the gunman in the background. The first was calm earlier today as she read list of demands, the second agitated as the gunman in the background was getting fired up that nothing had happened after his first set of demands.

    Shari, can you confirm these videos are real?

    I see them all over twitter, but it's a little strange they are labeled as "comedy".

    100% real as their families are commenting on social media. Not sure about the tags but I can only assume they're coming from the gunman or Youtube. The chick in the first vid for example was one of the ones seen earlier with her hands held up against the window. They're not fake. A few more graphic ones have been released but I couldn't get them over to here befoire YT deleted them.

    Okay, thanks. They seemed legitimate, I just couldn't get past the fact they were labeled as comedy.

    Pretty crazy stuff.

    There were three separate hostages, all women, making requests for the guy holding them hostage.

    I hope no hostages get killed. I can't imagine having a job where you have to negotiate with nutjobs like this with peoples lives at stake. You must be so cool and composed and an expert at manipulation.

    He has too many hostages. All he needs is a few. The more hostages the more distractions. Part of negotiation process. Let 3 go for a demand

    Some things are bigger than sports. When a country is under attack, sports programming is interupted for breaking news. This is important. Show some class.

    This is what can happen when a government dissarms the citizens...if someone in that cafe had a CHL this thing would have lasted 5 seconds...very sad

    Considering this is the first hostage situation since tight gun laws came in after a massacre 20 odd years ago, I'm not sure your idea holds water.

    I bet many of you cannot say the same about whatever country you are in right now!

    Australia is very inclusive, fairly tolerant and not ultra sensitive to race issues compared to what I see in Europe or USA.

    You won't see protests outside mosques over this in Australia... do you imagine that would be the case elsewhere? Or would we be seeing protests and attacks against Islamic groups already?
    Aus is the worst racist country of all the remaining western countries, backing many recent incidents against Indians, Muslims and Blacks. And people who call themselves are original citizens of Aus were infact boat people from England, not to mention they were shipped from England for being criminals.

    If the country's citizens believe they are better off with only gov being able to carry, then my argument is too late anyway....These kinds of things happen everywhere, but if I was in that situation, I would be able to get myself out of it.
