That is in direct contradiction to the statements being issued by NSW police at the moment.

Partner and I got told to leave from our respective workplaces and friends in the city got told as well. It might not be an official police request but building management and workplaces are probably telling people to go if possible.

The deputy commissioner just announced that they're communicating with the gunman but won't confirm if there's only one of them or more. Or give any other info.

Regarding hostages getting out: One of the hostages sneaks up and hits the door-open button and runs out. Another sprints out behind him a second later. SWAT aren't even looking in their direction when they run past them. The third hostage pissbolts out the fire escape, where SWAT are waiting, but the SWAT guy who comes out behind him is walking out so casually that another SWAT-dude outside grabs him and pulls him out of the way so they can point guns in the door.

That is amazing.

On a serious note, I don't see the point of speculating on this siege until actual information is made available. They should have got QLD pol in though, they know how to handle siege situations really well.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Looks like they were expecting him. The guys who came out the front door were more of a surprise.

They're only holding guns up at certain times, the rest of the time they're lowered and just look watchful. I imagine they're really hot and kinda bored.

Police have had to move on a man ranting agains Islam outside of the siege. Ralph Cerminara is the leader of the Australian Defence League, an anti-Muslim organisation and went to the siege to specifically rant against the religion. Police told him to leave the area.

Traditionally they kill the men on the spot, and use the women and children as bargaining chips.

An ex-copper I know claimed to have shot someone's ear off in a siege situation, and got into a shitload of trouble because he missed the head.
