Jumping the gun a bit.  This guy, hardly a coordinated terrorist attack, could have any motivation.  Anything to do with islam is an easy target, and a hell of a way to go out making a name for yourself.  Also can't really rule out political motivation.

NSW Police Commissioner, Andrew Scipione, says contact has not yet been made with the armed offender holding people hostage at a cafe in Sydney's CBD.

It's believed up to a dozen people could be being held at the Lindt Chocolat cafe in Martin Place, but NSW police say they still don't know how many people are being held inside.

"We can confirm that there is an armed offender holding an unknown number of people hostage," Mr Scipione said.

"We are working as hard as we can to determine the exact number (of hostages).

"We are continuing to secure and make sure we are doing all we can to bring this to a peaceful outcome."

Police have moved to a "footing" similar to dealing with a terrorist attack, he said.

"We have not yet confirmed if this is a terrorism-related event," Mr Scipione said.

"We are dealing with a hostage situation with an armed offender."

Mr Scipione said there wasn't a connection between the siege and a counter-terror raid in Sydney, earlier this morning.

Two people died, along with an Islamist gunman, after commandos stormed a cafe in Sydney, Australia, to bring to an end a 16-hour siege.

The gunman, identified as an Iranian refugee, had taken dozens of hostages.

Four people were injured, including a policeman hit by shotgun pellets.

Central Sydney was put in lockdown when the gunman seized the hostages early on Monday, forcing some of them to hold up a black Islamic banner at the window of the Lindt cafe.

The Lindt Chocolat Cafe is located in Martin Place, a busy shopping area in Sydney's financial district.

The gunman was named as Man Haron Monis. He received political asylum in Australia in 1996 and was on bail facing a number of charges.

Monis when he was charged last year with being accessory to the murder of ex-wife Noleen Hayson Pal, described the self-declared sheik as a "damaged-goods individual"

Late last year he was charged with being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and mother of two.

More recently he was charged with a raft of offences in relation to indecent and sexual assault while operating as a self-proclaimed "spiritual healer" in Sydney's west more than a decade ago.

In October Monis, who most recently had been living at Bexley North in Sydney's south, was charged with an extra 40 sexual offences relating to his work as a spiritual healer.

He was on bail at the time of the siege and due to appear in court over indecent and sexual assault charges in February 2015.
Report secong coming. December 15, 2014 9:26 PM GMT
Until his entry into the global media spotlight as the shadowy figure at the centre of the Sydney siege, Man Haron Monis had long been viewed as a fringe figure in Sydney’s Islamic community, his self-radicalisation rooted in grievances against the Australian government and increasing marginalisation among his peers.

The self-proclaimed spiritual healer had achieved a degree of notoriety as the author of “grossly offensive” letters sent to taunt parents and relatives of Australians killed by extremism in Indonesia as well as troops who lost their lives in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2009.

Well known to the Australian police, he had been consumed by his conviction for the offence, unsuccessfully challenging the conviction in the high court last year and making several vehement and erratic public statements claiming to be innocent.

Monis lost another bid to have the matter heard before the high court on Friday.

He also faced numerous charges relating to his time working as a “spiritual healer” – including 22 counts of aggravated sexual assault and 14 counts of aggravated indecent assault – and had been bailed for allegedly being an accessory to the killing of his former wife.

When Monis, who was also known as Mohammad Hassan Manteghi, appeared in court in October over the sex assault allegations, police charged him with 40 additional offences. It was alleged that he had advised a 27-year-old woman to visit him at his business in Wentworthville in 2002 after she contacted him through a “Spiritual Consultation” ad in a community newspaper.

He was charged last year with being an accessory to the murder of his 30-year-old former wife Noleen Hayson Pal, a mother-of-two who was allegedly stabbed to death and set alight in April 2013.

Iranian-born, Monis sought asylum in Australia in 1996, telling ABC News in 2001 he fled after falling foul of the Iranian regime, which he said had placed his wife and children under house arrest. “I can say they are hostage,” he said at the time, having reportedly given himself the title Sheikh Haron.

As recently as last week on a website he used both to defend and promote himself, he announced that he had converted from Shia to Sunni Islam and pledged his allegiance to the caliphate declared by the militant group Islamic State. That website was shut down as Monday’s siege developed, and police asked media outlets to refrain from giving him a platform as he held 17 hostages in the Lindt cafe in Martin Place.

Sydney Shia leaders had apparently urged federal police to probe his claim to be a leading cleric, while he was ignored by the Sunni community. He had no links to the Islamic State terrorist group, and despite his criminal past was not seen as a likely exponent of the group’s ideology.

One upshot, some would argue, is that he fits bill of a classic lone wolf – a profile that had been much feared by security officials. Monis is believed to have been a self-starter, who had attached himself to the virulent worldview of Isis. His self-radicalisation appeared to be rooted in grievances against the government and fueled by his increasing marginalisation.

Earlier this month, Monis had posted on his website that Shia muslims were rejectionists – a key message of extremist Sunnis in the Middle East.

But there were other hints on the web post that Monis had become radicalised: a rambling October letter he penned to the Muslim community rejected the “new religion” of moderate Islam. ‘This pen is my gun and these words are my bullets, I fight by these weapons against oppression to promote peace,’ he wrote.

An image on the website appears to show Monis wearing the same headband that photographs suggest he donned during the Martin Place siege, reading: “We are ready to sacrifice for you, O Muhammad.”

Shortly after Tony Abbott’s government was elected in September last year, Monis sent the prime minister a letter inviting him to a live debate in which he said he would prove that “Australia and Australians will be attacked” as a result of the country’s participation in the war in Afghanistan.

Manny Conditsis, a lawyer who represented Monis at one point, has decribed his former client as an isolated figure who might have felt that he had nothing to lose, “hence participating in something as desperate and outrageous as this”.

“His ideology is just so strong and so powerful that it clouds his vision for common sense and objectiveness,” Conditsis told ABC news.

He wasn't a member of ISIS.  Or he would have had the flag ffs.  He wanted the spotlight to be on him, hence all of his television appearances, and his willingness to stand at the window opposite the channel 7 network.
Yes, he was religious, but this was a man, a sexual murderous predator, who loves the spotlight, using the guise of ISIS to gain as much worldwide attention as possible.

Did the barrister who opposed him on Friday not work on one of the upper levels of the building?  (lot of sketchy details, obviously don't know a lot to be true or not), but if this was an ISIS attack, there would have been people dead inside 5 minutes, and there really would have been bombs.

The media and politicians are the main culprits in turning this into a religious issue as anybody.  The number of times I have heard them refer to Jesus/God, and how everybody should pray.  Now I am sitting here listening to some dick in a stupid hat, holding a stupid swan looking stick, at St Marys Cathedral on the 7 news.

The man was known to protest Australias involvement in Afghanistan, and was religious, and our involvement of course will create a lot of motives for a lot of people for us invading other peoples countries to take their siht.

But the timeline here, suggests using religion as a guise for him being pissed off that our court system doesn't buy into his bullsiht, except of course allowing him to kill his wife, 50 or so sexual assault convictions, and still walk the streets.  We have shown him we are weak and he can do what he wants without consequences.  He thought he was above the law, and to a large extent we allowed him to be.

Bjt with all due  respect mate you need to stop making excuses for the extremist and so called moderate elements within their religion.

Why is it that in this country, our country not theirs, that we are the ones who have to bend over backwards to accommodate people who refuse to assimilate properly into a modern society who supposedly came here to get away from all the craap in their own countries yet if we go to their countries we have to strictly adhere to their customs and rules.

There are good and bad people in every race, creed and or religion but most are more flexible than some of these nutters and even some of the so called moderates.

Why is that wherever in the world they go certain elements within them cause problems, that is an indisputable fact.

Come to our country by all means but park your religious and ethnic hatred bullshit at the door the pendulum has swung far too much their way and needs to swing back in our favour, this is our country, it's still a modern christian country with christian based ideals, customs and laws and if you don't like our ideals, customs and our laws then piss off.

So it would be ok if he was "answering the call" from Saudi Arabia, but not if it was from ISIS?

Why are you using religion to form an argument?  Are you Christian?  Would you convert to Islam if you for some reason had to travel to an Islam dominant country?  Would you give up all your beliefs and simply swap for the opposite based on your geographical location?

How many times has this happened?  I don't recall too many times the country was shut down for an "Islamic extremist" taking hostages.  I do note however that Julian Knight is still in jail, serving 7 consecutive life sentences, for taking a shotgun and killing 7, injuring 19 in a 30 minute shooting spree.  An Australian, with an adopted military father, who was raised on cadets, joined the army, and killed anybody in sight.  Martin Bryant?  Ring a bell?  Was he an Islamic extremist?

Come to our country, or **** off?  I don't agree with the way our country does things.  So where should I **** off to?  Should I convert to Christianity just to be allowed to stay here?  Should I move to England and start beating my wife and not brush my teeth?  Should I move to Nigeria and start scamming you?


People are so concerned about people coming over here and enthrusting their beliefs on us, yet nobody is concerned that every tax paying citizen is funding the invasion and slaughter of people in other countries, for not having the same beliefs as "us"....

Don't forget it was our LAW that allowed him his freedom to walk into a coffee shop and do whatever he wanted....... just ask the LAW (another idiot titled as a magistrate) that gave him his freedom (bail). "They", these lunatics who use religion as they're excuse for bad behaviou, are all just "fitting in" with our own laws and lifestyle, if you want to sing and dance about it then perhaps give tony and the do nothings a call and see if they can revisit the gun laws.... ahhh they don't appear to be working all that well.

And considering our laws have created decades of genocide, not sure how much respect they really deserve.  45,000 deaths a year to cancer alone, and nobody bats an eyelid, yet 2 deaths and the country is in mourning.  And those 2 deaths probably only really came about when old mate tried to grab the gun while he was sleeping.  As heroic it was, and potentially saved others lives, sneaking out, or a chair to the head was probably the best idea.  Hindsight is a great thing, and not trying to downplay the bravery involved and the tragic circumstances.

But the reality is the government are indirectly or directly killing many tens of thousands of people every year in our own country, and countless thousands of people not under their jurisdiction, a high proportion of those "innocent civilians" every year, for monetary reasons and everybody is blinded to the facts because of the fear they create throughout the population of "extremists".  All done under the guise of "protecting us".  There are plenty of extremists in our country.  The most dangerous ones are the ones we have been forced to vote for.  If you want to bring religion into it, the majority of them have publicly been advising us to pray during this event.

So is it bad that he flew the banner of his religious beliefs when our "leaders" are publicly sending out the message, over and over again, that our god has come out on top?  He is a religious nut, but our leaders aren't using religion to try to send their message?

Some people act like our siht don't stink.

This is all Gough's fault.

The day he opened our doors to all manner of riff-raff from all over the world was the day Australia stopped being the carefree worker's utopia that it always had been. Suddenly we had Asians, with their stupid bloody work ethic, forcing our wages and working conditions down to third world level. Then an endless stream of reffos from every sh1t-hole on the planet, importing their bullsh1t old country grievances into this once-peaceful country. And this muslim mob are the worst of the lot with their 72 virgins, their jihads, their fatwahs and their bloody burkhas.

And Hawke and Keating have been willing accessories in this blind push to turn Australia into a third world country, based on the premise that the only way to compete with the third world is to become the third world. Hawke, the Joseph Stalin of Australian politics, the former leader of the ACTU who sold out every principle he ever had the day he became prime minister.

And don't get me started on the H.R.Nicholls faction of the Liberal Party.

The only surprise about what happened the other day is that it didn't happen sooner ... oh, hang on ... it did. That 10th grade loonie who tried to behead a copper in Melbourne.

So we've let the chinese take over our real estate industry and now we've got Division 12 do-it-yourself islamic martyrs earning themselves twelve pregnant camels by pulling off some childish stunt in the middle of Sydney.

Fair dinkum ... whoever started the Black Saturday fires was more of a terrorist that this c*nt.

Whoever vandalised the pitch at The Oval in 1975 was more of a terrorist that this imposter.

This sad F LI C K is not even a terrorist's armpit.

If we want to compete with the Middle East we need to BECOME the Middle East.

And thanks to Gough Bloody Whitlam we are well on our way.

I would have thought that given the opportunity of staying in your homeland and run the extremely high risk of being slaughtered, or, be welcomed into one of the greatest countries on earth with the only caveat being you don't break the law, or at the very least don't murder, or sexually assault women at leisure the choice would be fairly simple.

I imagine all Australians would welcome as many legitimate refugees as our infrastructure can handle, so long as they don't do us any harm and respect our country. Surely this isn't to much to ask?

MIGRATION ACT 1958 - SECT 36

Protection visas
             (1)  There is a class of visas to be known as protection visas.

Note:          See also Subdivision AL.

          (1A)  An applicant for a protection visa must satisfy:

                     (a)  the criterion in subsection (1B); and

                     (b)  at least one of the criteria in subsection (2).

          (1B)  A criterion for a protection visa is that the applicant is not assessed by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation to be directly or indirectly a risk to security (within the meaning of section 4 of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 ).

             (2)  A criterion for a protection visa is that the applicant for the visa is:

                     (a)  a non-citizen in Australia in respect of whom the Minister is satisfied Australia has protection obligations under the Refugees Convention as amended by the Refugees Protocol; or

                    (aa)  a non-citizen in Australia (other than a non-citizen mentioned in paragraph (a)) in respect of whom the Minister is satisfied Australia has protection obligations because the Minister has substantial grounds for believing that, as a necessary and foreseeable consequence of the non-citizen being removed from Australia to a receiving country, there is a real risk that the non-citizen will suffer significant harm; or

                     (b)  a non-citizen in Australia who is a member of the same family unit as a non-citizen who:

                              (i)  is mentioned in paragraph (a); and

                             (ii)  holds a protection visa; or

                     (c)  a non-citizen in Australia who is a member of the same family unit as a non-citizen who:

                              (i)  is mentioned in paragraph (aa); and

                             (ii)  holds a protection visa.

          (2A)  A non-citizen will suffer significant harm if:

                     (a)  the non-citizen will be arbitrarily deprived of his or her life; or

                     (b)  the death penalty will be carried out on the non-citizen; or

                     (c)  the non-citizen will be subjected to torture; or

                     (d)  the non-citizen will be subjected to cruel or inhuman treatment or punishment; or

                     (e)  the non-citizen will be subjected to degrading treatment or punishment.

          (2B)  However, there is taken not to be a real risk that a non-citizen will suffer significant harm in a country if the Minister is satisfied that:

                     (a)  it would be reasonable for the non-citizen to relocate to an area of the country where there would not be a real risk that the non-citizen will suffer significant harm; or

                     (b)  the non-citizen could obtain, from an authority of the country, protection such that there would not be a real risk that the non-citizen will suffer significant harm; or

                     (c)  the real risk is one faced by the population of the country generally and is not faced by the non-citizen personally.

Ineligibility for grant of a protection visa

          (2C)  A non-citizen is taken not to satisfy the criterion mentioned in paragraph (2)(aa) if:

                     (a)  the Minister has serious reasons for considering that:

                              (i)  the non-citizen has committed a crime against peace, a war crime or a crime against humanity, as defined by international instruments prescribed by the regulations; or

                             (ii)  the non-citizen committed a serious non-political crime before entering Australia; or

                            (iii)  the non-citizen has been guilty of acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations; or

                     (b)  the Minister considers, on reasonable grounds, that:

                              (i)  the non-citizen is a danger to Australia's security; or

                             (ii)  the non-citizen, having been convicted by a final judgment of a particularly serious crime (including a crime that consists of the commission of a serious Australian offence or serious foreign offence), is a danger to the Australian community.

Protection obligations

             (3)  Australia is taken not to have protection obligations in respect of a non-citizen who has not taken all possible steps to avail himself or herself of a right to enter and reside in, whether temporarily or permanently and however that right arose or is expressed, any country apart from Australia, including countries of which the non-citizen is a national.

             (4)  However, subsection (3) does not apply in relation to a country in respect of which:

                     (a)  the non-citizen has a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion; or

                     (b)  the Minister has substantial grounds for believing that, as a necessary and foreseeable consequence of the non-citizen availing himself or herself of a right mentioned in subsection (3), there would be a real risk that the non-citizen will suffer significant harm in relation to the country.

             (5)  Subsection (3) does not apply in relation to a country if the non-citizen has a well-founded fear that:

                     (a)  the country will return the non-citizen to another country; and

                     (b)  the non-citizen will be persecuted in that other country for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.

          (5A)  Also, subsection (3) does not apply in relation to a country if:

                     (a)  the non-citizen has a well-founded fear that the country will return the non-citizen to another country; and

                     (b)  the Minister has substantial grounds for believing that, as a necessary and foreseeable consequence of the non-citizen availing himself or herself of a right mentioned in subsection (3), there would be a real risk that the non-citizen will suffer significant harm in relation to the other country.

Determining nationality

             (6)  For the purposes of subsection (3), the question of whether a non-citizen is a national of a particular country must be determined solely by reference to the law of that country.

             (7)  Subsection (6) does not, by implication, affect the interpretation of any other provision of this Act.

Don't think it is too much to ask.  I think it is too much to expect.  We can't do that for ourselves, living in "the lucky country" where we generally don't experience anything like some of these people.

Also think it is ridiculous to expect on asking a question like that, to somebody that wants entry, to get any answer but sure sir, thank you sir, which part of your arse would you like me to lick now sir?  The same way that if you asked anybody in the knowledge that a wrong answer would see them not get what they want, anybody in this country to answer the same way.

What sort of people do our returned soldiers make?  Across the western world, returned soldiers are a huge risk to society.  That is what war does to people.  It desensitizes them.  In a perfect world, everybody would look after everybody else.  But the world isn't perfect, people aren't perfect, and extemists come in many forms, with many different agendas.

Dept. Immigration and Border Protection website:

This information is for people who have already been granted a Protection visa (subclass 866). It explains your rights and obligations.

From 3 June 2013, condition 8559 prohibits travel by a protection visa holder to their home country, or the country from which they sought protection. Find out more about condition 8559 through Help and support - Frequently asked questions (FAQs).


What this visa lets you do

This is a permanent residence visa. It lets you and any family members who have also been granted this visa to:

stay in Australia indefinitely
work and study in Australia
enrol in Medicare, Australia's scheme for health-related care and expenses
apply for Australian citizenship (if you are eligible)
sponsor eligible relatives for permanent residence
travel to and from Australia for five years from the date the visa is granted (after that time, you will need a resident return visa or another visa to return to Australia).
If you want to sponsor eligible relatives for permanent residence, you can do so under the family stream. In limited circumstances, you might be able to sponsor your eligible family member for this visa.

Your obligations
You and your family must comply with Australian laws.
