After the bomb scare that happened earlier in Sydney involving an 18-year-old girl, here is another angry person who is taking her daughter as a hostage in Parramatta, Sydney. It all happened as the mid-aged man walked into a legal firm and he went on a rampage, picked up a book and threw at the reception, and said he has a bomb in his backpack. After the evacuation, the man has took her daughter hostage inside and both police and fire department are at constant standby. As of the time of writing, the police was able to get his daughter out, but the man is still remaining inside the building. I hope the daughter will be fine and hopefully the father will finally turn himself in.
Brisbane airport to force drivers to park [Courier Mail]
There will be a pickup area for drivers to pick up their relatives and friends in some time next year and it will be free for a period of parking time. The purpose of it is mainly allow commuters to pick up travellers and to give them a chance to not parking, which usually the thing people hate when they are just staying at airport for a short period of time but they still need to pay for the fee. The airport has some of the highest carparking fees in the country, particularly for long-term parking, and people are trying to request for a pickup or a drop-off area for them. I mean, it's a welcoming chance, however I just couldn't fathom how awful much the airports around the world can generate revenue from car parks, it's just mind-boggling!
Famine makes 100 children die each day due to starvation [Courier Mail]
The United Nation says the famine now spreading across the eastern African is causing more than 100 children die of starvation. A very depressing article about the impact of famine and mass starvation. Not only they couldn't save themselves from it, seemed like the help given are not in its full effect. In the same time, there are also security concerns for the aids as there are gunmen raiding at the resource collection point with thieving. People in the first world country should take a note about this while enjoying their gourmet meals.
UPDATE: The hostage has now ended after the daughter was first rescued by police and later the man has finally taken into custody after a day long siege.
