Your PM summed up what the rest of the world are thinking.............

'How can someone who has had such a long and checkered history not be on the appropriate watch list? And how can someone like that be entirely at large in the community?' Prime Minister Tony Abbott asked at a news conference. 'These are questions we need to look at carefully and calmly and methodically. That's what we'll be doing in the days and weeks ahead.'

I hope the rest of the world are taking notice.

My thoughts are with the families of the deceased.

What a harrowing day 15 Th December 2014 was. Very frightening for the hostages and their families . The deceased hostages will never be forgotten .

Dreadful Tom, I hope we never see that sort of thing in Australia again.

When I heard the breaking news my first words to Roy were I hope he's taken out soon before any hostages are killed. Tori Johnson and Katrina Dawson  lost their lives to save others and their names should never  be forgotten.

Hey Tom, the scumbag should have been jailed when he sent letters to the deceased returned soldiers family,,i would personally have sent him back to iran,,he has been a dead weight to this country,,as he has been collecting unemployment benifits for the past 12 years,,he was of no use to man or beast,,he was nothing but a scumbag,,and he aint getting any virgins where he is going,,,Always nice talking Tom..>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 

I started watching when the story broke but have, however, been out of town and out of touch. Glad you posted this, Tommy, so I can catch up.  What a horrifying ordeal.  MCM is right, it DOES sound like the U.S….

The two hostages who died were hero's they gave their lives and saved the others. You should be proud to call,  yourselves Australian,  god bless you all.

Shame about the idiots in the crowd taking selfies.
