Tribute to be installed at Lindt cafe

A TRIBUTE to victims of the fatal Sydney siege will be installed in the Lindt cafe before it reopens.

Repairs are being done at the Martin Place site, which has been closed since the siege in mid-December.

A decision on when the cafe will open its doors is due to be made next week, a company source said yesterday.

“There are some serious practical considerations to work through,” he said.

Cafe manager Tori Johnson and Sydney barrister Katrina Dawson were killed during the 16-hour siege, along with gunman Man Haron Monis.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott yesterday received an official report into the tragedy and has promised to release it by the end of the month.

“Plainly the Martin Place murderer took advantage of our system. That’s what this report is designed to expose to us,” Mr Abbott said.
