Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapuakina e Marcia Mikhael, te kaitiaki o te Siege o Sydney, i whakaaro ia ki te whakamomori i muri i tana tukunga ki te pakanga kino i runga ipurangi, i te mea i whakapae te iwi i a ia mo tana whakapae whakamataku. Ko Ms. Mikhael tētahi o ngā tāngata 18 i whakaraua i te 15 o Hakihea e te tangata patu a Man Haron Monis mō te tata ki te 17 haora i roto i te wharekai Lindt i Martin Place i te CBD o Hīnia. Ko ia me etahi atu patunga o te whakapae i utua kia korero i a raatau korero ki nga whatunga whakataetae Channel Seven me Channel Nine i te Hanuere. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I puta a Marcia Mikhael i roto i tētahi uiuinga i runga i Channel Seven i te marama o Hānuere ka kōrero mō tōna whiu i te wā o te Siege o Hītini. I mau a Man Haron Monis i te 18 tāngata i roto i te wharekai Lindt i Hīnei i te 15 o Hakihea. I kii a Ms. Mikhael ki te Blacktown Sun i whakawakia ia i runga ipurangi i muri i tana korero a tana roia ki nga papaho e hiahia ana ia ki te moni e ono-mati hei korero i tana korero i roto i te whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata. 'I haere ahau i te mea he patunga me te toa ki te kino, pirihimana basher,' ka mea te whaea-o-toru. 'I te tīmatanga o te whakatoi, i whakaaro ahau ki te whakamate i ahau. 'I riro i ia tangata takitahi he utu mai i Channel Seven, i Channel Nine rānei. Na he aha ahau anake te mea tino haehae?' I kii a Ms. Mikhael kua tohaina e ia he moni kaore i tohua mai i tana whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata me tana uiui i te maheni ki te ratonga hauora hinengaro a Lifeline. I whakapuakina hoki e te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa o Westpac he hokinga whakamuri tana, he moemoea kino mo te whakapae. I kii a Ms Mikhael kua whakawakia ia i runga i nga papaho pāpori, i whakapae i te whai hua mai i tana wheako whakamataku. Ko Katrina Dawson (matau), i mate i te whakapae, me Ms Mikhael i kaha ki te tu tahi i te matapihi i te Hakihea 15. I kii ia kaore ia e whakawhirinaki ki nga tangata a kua'mataku' ia ki te haere ki waho. Ko te 43-tau te pakeke i tapiritia e ia e rua nga pokanga i runga i ia waewae ki te tango i nga waahanga 200 o te pupuhi. Ko tētahi o ōna kōrero i roto i tana uiuinga i runga i te Channel Seven, nāna i āta tautohetohe, ko te whakaaro i taea e te ope taua te whakahaere pai ake i te pirihimana o NSW nāna i kī ai...

I patai ia he aha ia anake i kiia ai ko te'monster makona' I a ia e uiuitia ana e Channel Seven, i whakahe a Ms Mikhael ki te pirihimana o NSW.
