The gunman who brought Brisbane's Queen Street mall to a standstill earlier this year has pleaded guilty to charges relating to the siege.
Lee Matthew Hillier, 34, had been committed to stand trial over the March incident but on Tuesday pleaded guilty to seven charges in the Brisbane District Court.
They included possessing a weapon, going armed in public to cause fear and five counts of assaulting police.
Columns of workers and shoppers fled the mall on March 8 when the heavily tattooed Hillier produced a gun, at one point holding it to his throat.
The 90-minute stand off ended when police shot him with bean-bag bullets.
His lawyer Mark Jeffreys told the court on Tuesday a psychiatrist's report was being put together ahead of his client's January 23 sentencing.
Hillier was remanded in custody.
