Deputy Commissioner Burn: "We don't believe anyone else in the cafe has been injured." #MartinPlace
Asked about reports that around 30 to 40 hostages are inside, Catherine Burn said:
"That sort of a number does not equate with what we would be assuming. We don't know for a clear fact, but it is not as high as 30."

Three hostages flee cafe - what we know so far
Three people have fled the Lindt cafe in Sydney in the seventh hour of the siege. Here is what we know so far:
Police have confirmed the three people seen running from the Lindt cafe were hostages who are now free.
It is not clear how many hostages are in the cafe. Reports have ranged from 8 to 50. Five different hostages have been sighted in news footage.
Police say there is “at least one” offender.
The Sydney Opera House was evacuated for a non-specified reason but police have since left the scene.
Conservative radio presenter Ray Hadley has claimed a hostage has called him and he spoke to him off the air. He says the NSW police commissioner verified the phone call but the commissioner would not confirm or deny the claim.
The siege began about 9.45am AEST and police say while they have had contact with hostages there has been no direct contact with the offender. Police say nobody has been harmed to their knowledge.
Prime minister Tony Abbott and NSW police commissioner Andrew Scipione say the motives of the siege are not known.
Uber were for criticised for charging minimum $100 for people trying to leave the CBD during the siege. They have since offered free rides.
