Australian PM Tony Abbott media statement 16-12-14

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott says it will take time to clarify
exactly what happened in Sydney's Martin Place and why.
He says it's a tragedy that two hostages were killed as the 16-hour
siege in Sydney's CBD came to a bloody end early Tuesday morning.
Mr Abbott says the perpetrator was well known to state and commonwealth
authorities, having a long history of violent crime, infatuation with
extremism and mental instability.
He says it's tragic beyond words that people going about their daily
business were caught up in the siege.
