I think the motive for the terrorist is to stop abbot from introducing the GP co payment

Also they probably don't support Tony Abbott's "stop the boats" thing

Home>Exclusion Zone for Sydney
The NSW Government wants to send a clear message to the people of Sydney – when you wake up tomorrow morning, go about your normal business.

There will be some necessary changes.

An exclusion zone will continue to operate around Martin Place bordered by Elizabeth St, St James Road, Macquarie St and Hunter St.

If you work in this exclusion zone, please work from home unless otherwise advised. A map of the zone is available at here.

The transport network will operate as usual, except for the closure of Martin Place station.

Some buses will be diverted around the exclusion zone but will continue to run through the CBD.

For more information about transport arrangements you can visit www.transportnsw.info (link is external)

There will be no school excursions into the Sydney CBD tomorrow.

Cultural institutions will be open as usual except for the State Library that will be closed until further notice.

Media now relying solely on information given to them by police. All media has been moved to positions where they can not see the cafe.
