Sydney Siege PM Gun Laws Questioned/Inquiry Needed IRAN REQUESTED EXTRADITION

The recent Martin Place tragedy has raised more questions than it has answered.

Some have asked, "how was he granted bail in the first place?"

Another question might be, "considering media reports that he had just lost his High Court Appeal, and was making direct threats against the 'United States and its allies', why didn't police or the DPP apply to revoke his bail under the new Bail Act?

Or in those circumstances, "why wasn't an application made for a 'preventative detention order', which would have allowed police to keep him in custody for up to 14 days without charge?"

Or "with all of ASIO's powers, how was this man able to get a gun and take it into Martin Place?"

Why wasn't he even on the terrorism watch list??

Less than 50%

"Prime Minister Tony Abbott has suggested that firearm laws may need to be changed as he said that the Martin Place gunman had a gun licence despite having a long criminal history that included being out on bail for being an accessory to murder.

As he announced an urgent review into the Martin Place siege that took the lives of two hostages, on Wednesday, Mr Abbott said that while he had great confidence in Australia's police and security agencies, there was a need to reflect on what could have been done better."

Strange as NSW Police Say "Gunman" did NOT have a Licence.

50% rule observed, wayyyy less.

NSW police say they have no records of Martin Place siege gunman Man Haron Monis ever holding a gun licence.

This is despite the Prime Minister Tony Abbott asserting in a press conference earlier that Monis, killed by police in a gun battle after a 16-hour siege, had been allowed to legally own weapons.

"The NSW Police Force has conducted checks with the NSW Firearms Registry and can confirm there is no record of the 50-year-old man having held a firearms licence," a statement issued this evening said.

Mr Abbott's office later issued a statement saying the Prime Minister had been told during national security briefings by "Commonwealth security officials" that Monis had been a recorded firearms licence holder in NSW."

Could this "event" be a catalyst to further tighten Australia's already tough fire arms laws?
