Several people have been taken hostage by at least one armed man at a Lindt cafe in the centre of Sydney.
I’ve met Aussies traveling in the UK who refuse to visit US because of our gun laws. This story must be a mistake.
Many more details here:
Fox News had a blip and said 20 hostages a few minutes ago and went back to prerecorded program, seriously, these NEWS outlets need to learn to prioritize. And they should have an agreement with other news agencies around the world. UNREAL.
I was checking immigration in Au and NZ it was tight, not accepting anyone with ties to terrorists or had any background like that...so I am somewhat surprised, since the US has the open border.
Unfortunately Australia’s Muslim population has grown larger throughout the years. During the Israel/Gaza conflict some Muslim scum were threatening Jewish school children on a school bus in Melbourne..Muslim roaches are all over the place
FWIW:
From national security correspondent David Wroe: “The flag being shown in the window is not an Islamic State flag, nor one for the other best-known jihadist group Jabhat al-Nusra. Rather, it appears to be a Shahada flag, which represents a general expression of faith in Islam, though has been co-opted by various jihadist groups.
I’ve been told that the American news networks have their bureaus in the area that has been evacuated. This might make it harder than normal to report.
When breaking international news occurs, FoxNews goes on with its non-stop chatter with its feet firmly planted in concrete.
I always check the new conservative channel OAN, but this is Sunday eve and they have some prerecorded shows too.
Rectal hydration with chocolate? Too good.
Fox News - The Missing White Girl Channel.
Drudge tends to get lazy on weekends, and will show the same stories from Friday into Monday morning, give or take a few little tweeks.
Radio 2GB have confirmed that a source has said the gunmen have claimed to have devices all over the city and want to speak to the Prime Minister live on radio.
No doubt...I wonder if the Muslims knew that was American networks, and they would be affected...interesting.
I would think there would be reciprocity agreements with other news agencies in Australia for streaming their breaking news especially something in this realm...
Site with push for live updates:
Channel 7 and Sky News Australia also have studios in the area, also evacuated
My guess is reciprocal agreements are falling apart.
Not good at all
The flag they’re holding isn’t ISIS but the Shahada flag (More islamderthals)
“Maybe Free Republic should be a news channel..”

It already is in my life.
