Financial effects in Sydney. Ongoing terrorism operation.
So far the ASX has not shut down but the area closed off and evacuated holds a number of trading houses and financial firms. Martin Place is a well known area for the professionals working in the area to eat and have coffee. The Lindt cafe is a very popular spot.
I hope and pray this situation is resolved peacefully. More on the story here.
A sad ending for the two hostages who were killed. The perpetrator was indeed a nutcase and there will be questions as to why he was allowed on the streets.

I hiked back and forth through this area over a dozen times the past two weeks. What a sad, sad situation.
