I’m not making this up but this is a very dark place at which we have arrived.
The cop in charge on the night on the stand this afternoon at the Lindt Café siege inquest in explaining about the delay in storming the café.
“..I had to look after the welfare of the hostages AND the welfare and rights of Man Monis..”
I think that most people would be of the view that Man Monis checked his welfare and his rights in at the door when he entered the café on his mission.
