T-1000 posted:Guy on ABC News 24 is outlining how the media should be responding and not giving tactical information to the hostage-takers. Like the kind of guns cops have, armour, whether they have grenades. While on a TV show broadcasting shots of police with all the gear. It was old footage shot before and he was explaining why they(channel 7?) were told to stop.

The longer this goes on, the more I think it's unrelated to any Islamic organisation and it's just a few amateurs with a flag. Usually a Islamic organisation would release a media statement claiming responsibility by now.

I swear to god, the media needs to stop interviewing random strangers. I know bringing in experts is expensive but interviewing Martha Mate from an apartment 10 minutes away so she can say "Oi, it's pretty scary hey?" "It's happening near my backyard" ect. is just a loving waste of time.
