I haven’t heard that one yet. I can only monitor two news sources at once - so there may be stuff on other places I’m not seeing.

I wonder if the Aussie’s have any decent marksmen given their antigun proclivities.

There are plenty of decent marksmen among the Police, and the Defence Forces. And by now, the police snipers are definitely on scene and some others who I won’t name probably are as well.

FYI, I'm watching 7 Sidney. A middle age man is the hostage taker with a black bandanna ordering people in the shop around.

Wonder if the Australian SASR has been called in yet?

That will do it, just a matter of if they can take him out without civilians getting killed.

Most of the SAS are based on the other side of the country. But there are less well known forces but just as capable based in Sydney itself.
Unless they’ve moved them, our equivalent of America’s SEALS are there (Navy Clearance Diving Teams)

I thought Muslims were peaceful people. That is what lots of people say. Bush and a whole list of others who work or have worked in our government say they are.
/Just kidding.
I can’t believe that they actually think that.

At least one hostage taker is believed to be wearing a bomb vest and backpack.

I think a polite threat to defile their dead bodies (with pork products) if they don’t come out peacefully is in order.
