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.

NOTE: THIS IS THE COMPLETE AUDIO OF THE PRESS STATEMENT FROM MR ABBOTT
