Yes it isThis is insane. I'm not a Sydneysider --- is Martin Place close to the Opera House/Harbour Bridge/Circular Quay area?
Yes it is
So I guess the concern that the two incidents (this and package at Opera House) could be linked isn't an overreaction...
Then there was mention of a package at a hospital. You can see why authorities ask media to be careful what they report, it has the potential to cause hysteria
This whole story sounds off. Why would anyone attempt an armed robbery of a cafe in broad daylight? A diamond theft maybe, but a cafe?
I hope for the best possible outcome for all the hostages.
Although not 100% confirmed it's more than likely a terrorist attack inspired by ISIS.This whole story sounds off. Why would anyone attempt an armed robbery of a cafe in broad daylight? A diamond theft maybe, but a cafe?

No I don't follow news on social media. I agree that the police need to be very careful, but this story is not really credible.They have to be extremely careful with the way they respond to the situation and the wording used not only for the media and general public but for future prosecution, Im sure they know so much more than we know they know, they also have to be careful due to rising racial tension, Im not sure if you have looked on social media at all, but some people are reacting in a very unhelpful way, profiling, generalising etc

I agree that the media spreads hysteria for their own benefit. They should broadcast the message to stay calm more clearly.
It really is disheartening to see jokes being made about such events and worse that people use this as an opportunity for their own bigoted thoughts on social media. Extremism exists, but spreading hate does not help anyone.
