Yeah, I've been thinking the same. No-one wants to see their son, daughter, friend or neighbour die on TV. Footage of it will just make shit worse.

Can anyone confirm if it's actually an ISIS flag? That was the initial report, but reports now seem a little more cautious.

It's supposed to hit close to home, that's why you need to calm down, as does everyone.

These live feeds really need to be shut down.

Just hit a little too close to home. The GF normally works on Martin place but has the day off thankfully.

Calm it down a notch, rambo.

There just cannot be any mercy here.

If they are pushing people up against a window, I don't think you should be watching live TV if you don't want to see blood.

Please Please Please let everyone be ok.

This is completely f*cked.

Bullets to the head of everyone involved in the plot. Zero tolerance for this shit.

A siege is taking place at a cafe in Sydney's central business district.

Police are advising people to steer clear of the Lindt Chocolat cafe in Martin Place.

Customers and a worker's face are pressed up against a shop window inside the cafe.

Martin Place has been shut down and scores of police are surrounding the building after the alarm was raised about 9.45am.

Workers in nearby buildings, including the Seven Network, have been ordered to evacuate the area.

NSW government offices, including Premier Mike Baird's, are in the vicinity of the cafe.

MORE TO COME
