Police have limited powers to deal with hostage situations
Police should have to weigh the risks for the hostages, but no concern should be shown for the life of the terrorists. In fact, killing the threat should be the objective.
As it stands, in circumstances like the Martin Place siege — where there was a single gunman — police do not have the authority to conduct a sniper-initiated assault.
Premiers will now have to decide if that should be an option.
When there are multiple terrorists and many hostages, like in the Bataclan theatre, the circumstance demands a highly specialised team, which can be rapidly deployed and which has a clear and short chain of command.

Australia has among the best in the world; two teams of highly skilled Special Forces soldiers who train for precisely this kind of scenario. They are our Tactical Assault Groups.
But there is a real issue with deploying the groups because of the division of power within the federation.
At the moment, a premier would have to decide his or her police force could not handle the job and ask the Prime Minister for the troops to be stood up.
Even then, there is some legal uncertainty about authorising troops to use deadly force domestically. Counter-terrorism experts believe these call-out provisions have to be urgently reviewed.
And the community has to become more resilient. It has to accept there will be casualties and some hostages might be killed by those sent to the rescue.
If changes are made, the line of command has to be as short as possible.
So the commander on the ground has a direct line to the Prime Minister or the Chief of the Defence Force, or whoever has been given the authority to say, "go".
Since May, there has been a federal counter-terror coordinator,But he does not have the power to order a counter-terror response.
