Siege in Sydney Cafe

I just hope this isn't a distraction for something bigger. Or a sign of things to come. It's scared the crap out of me because I remember hearing there was threats to behead someone in the middle of Martin Place not long ago, now this!

Fred Hollows was one of the four children in his family, the others being Colin, John and Maurice. All were born in Dunedin, New Zealand, to Joseph and Clarice (Marshall) Hollows. The family lived in Dunedin for the first seven years of his life.[1] He had one year of informal primary schooling at North East Valley Primary School and began attending Palmerston North Boys' High School when he was 13\. Hollows received his BA degree from Victoria University of Wellington. He briefly studied at a seminary, but decided against a life in the clergy. After observing the doctors at a mental hospital during some charity work, he instead enrolled at Otago Medical School. While living in Dunedin he was an active member of the New Zealand Alpine Club and made several first ascents of mountains in the Mount Aspiring/Tititea region of Central Otago.

Hollows was a member of the Communist Party of New Zealand during the 1950s and 1960s.[2]

In 1961 he went to Moorfields Eye Hospital in England to study ophthalmology. He then did post-graduate work in Wales before moving to Australia in 1965 where he became associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. From 1965–1992 he chaired the ophthalmology division overseeing the teaching departments at the University of New South Wales, and the Prince of Wales and Prince Henry hospitals.

Hollows was married twice: in 1958 to Mary Skiller, who died in 1975, and in 1980 to Gabi O'Sullivan.

Hollows was originally a New Zealand citizen. He declined the award of honorary Officer of the Order of Australia in 1985\. He adopted Australian citizenship in 1989 and was named Australian of the Year in 1990.[3] He accepted the substantive award of Companion of the Order of Australia in 1991.

Education in NSW. -🙂
 
I think this will end peacefully. The guy sounds like an amateur with hostages escaping. Plus there's the fact he needs a human shield to walk past the windows. That tells me he obviously fears being shot, so he'd probably be too gutless to die for what he believes in. If he comes out alive, i hope the cops laugh their arses off at him and embarrass him for how dumb he is. He's not a terrorist, just an idiot trying to carry out actions that he's seen on the internet.

There's a thing going on Facebook to stay away on NYE. Load of rubbish I reckon.

There's also a tweet from ''ISIS'' saying there will be another attack tomorrow in Bangalore.

True mate , surprised if they give the teachers holidays as well

You'd end up having to re train them as well

now you got me confused…

Lol I've got you confused? That would be a first, since you're the master at confusing all of us! :laughing:

My meaning? The end of the world as we know it and the beginning of a new world, though not everyone will make it to the new world.
