Background: In December 2014, after a 16-hour siege of the Lindt café in Sydney, Iranian-born gunman Man Haron Monis shot dead a hostage precipitating the police action which broke the siege.
Objective: This paper reviews the demographic and other factual details of Monis as documented by the NSW Coroner's Inquest and critically analyses the published findings of the Coroner particularly in relation to the role of the psychiatrist who advised senior police and negotiators during the siege.
Results: At the time of the siege, there was no formal protocol that delineated the role of a psychiatrist in hostage negotiations.

On 15 December 2014, nearly 20 years after he arrived in Australia from Iran, Man Haron Monis took 18 people hostage in the Lindt Café in Sydney and announced that Australia was 'under attack by the Islamic State'. After a 16-hour siege, during which negotiators had no direct communication with him, Monis shot dead one of his hostages, precipitating the police 'emergency action' which broke the siege. Although Monis had been a prolific user of the Internet and social media, the subsequent Coroner's inquest found that Monis made little sophisticated preparation for the siege and did not announce his intention nor did he leave any clear terrorist-inspired message or martyrdom video.

Psychiatrists need to learn how to advocate for a future mental health care delivery system that assures their patients have access to PDT.
