Just heard on an ABC Aus stream the suspect is an Iranian cleric currently on bail for various offenses including murder.
The man police believe is responsible for the Sydney siege is an Iranian cleric Man Haron Monis.
Police have said they are happy for the identity of the hostage taker to be revealed.
Monis is on bail for a string of violent offences and has a conviction for sending offensive letters to the families of deceased soldiers.
He is currently on bail for being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and is facing more than 40 indecent assault charges

Reports that Man Haron Monis is well known to the Australian police. The cleric is currently on bail for being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and is facing more than 40 sexual and indecent assault charges. Below is an archive image of the suspect.
Bunch more of the hostages have just done a runner![]()
Although this is good for the ones that are escaping, I can only imagine that this is going to possibly reflect negativly for those still in there. Lets hope not
I think he's ticked nearly all the hardcore Islam nutter boxes...
honour killing of wife, sexual offences and now hostages/bomb threat... just needs a conviction for bumming small boys to complete the set
