Martin Place siege recommendations

An inquiry into the lead-up to the Martin Place siege has found authorities did their job reasonably, but a tougher approach is now needed.

Police say they're disappointed by comments that they could've acted faster during the Sydney siege. (AAP)

MARTIN PLACE SIEGE REPORT KEY RECOMMENDATIONS:

* Bail should consider the accused person's links with terrorist organisations or violent extremism

* Immigration should improve verification of supporting documents and information provided by visa applicats

* Before granting citizenship, Immigration should better assess the risk posed by individuals

* Policy and legislative changes should be made to support decisions to grant or revoke visas and citizenship

* A Countering Violent Extremism referral program should be fast-tracked by June 30 in order to divert people before they become a threat to national security

* Prioritise bringing the National Firearms Interface into operation by the end of 2015 to track the life of each firearm from 'cradle to grave'

* Create of a memorandum of understanding to review bail decisions by the NSW Police and DPP

* Journalists should be offered access to government training exercises to improve co-operation before any future terrorism incidents
