As the siege unfolded yesterday, he sought to cloak his actions with the symbolism of the ISIL death cult.

Statement by the Leader of the Opposition of Australia, The Honourable Bill Shorten, MP:

The loss of two innocent people in this horrific event overnight breaks our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families.

We also keep in our thoughts the wounded and other hostages, and their families. Their ordeal is not over.

We owe our full gratitude to our police and security agencies for their bravery, service and sacrifice. Their skill and professionalism has saved lives.

The Opposition continues to offer the Government its full support during this difficult time. The Prime Minister and I are partners when it comes to keeping Australians safe.

Today, all of Australia stands with Sydney.

I’m glad the PM recognizes this as a “death cult.” The U.S. has never gotten over the embarrassment of ex-Pres. Dubya calling it the “religion of peace.”

it is an interesting choice of words, but as I recall, immigrant Islamists have been causing a lot of trouble for the locals for some time now.

[Da Coyote]

So, the “M” word did not occur, I gather.

Well, our top ten world problems are:

Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, and liberals.

Find them, and to quote the Daleks, “exterminate, exterminate”.

“Tragically, there are people in our community ready to engage in politically motivated violence.”

Yes, they’re called “muslims” you fricking idiot.

siege ?

Really?

Sounds more like a Known Wolf Jihadi terrorist action.

This lowlife should never have been out on the streets given his extensive criminal record. I heard just once today, on TV, that his freedom was primarily due to some high ranking Liberal Aussie politician. Did anyone hear that and just who that person was?

[RetiredTexasVet]

How’s that disarming the public working out for you?

[GeronL]

The author wants to write as much as possible to avoid using the word “Muslim”

"loss of two hostages"

Has it been confirmed that the two hostages were killed by the ISIL lunatic ?

Or was it friendly fire?

[Taxman]

As with many other situation such as this, one good guy with a gun could have prevented the 2 innocent person’s deaths.

Oh, how could I forget? Australia is a “gun free zone!”

In 2008, gun owners in Australia were forced by law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms which were destroyed by their own Government.

If one of them had been available yesterday to a good guy, the Moslem thug would be taking a dirt nap and everybody else would be alive.
