Two months on and a hostage who survived Sydney's Lindt cafe siege says she is still angry.
Marcia Mikhael, 43, revealed to Channel Seven on Sunday night she's been left wondering how at the end of the crisis manager Tori Johnson and mother of three Katrina Dawson were among the dead, along with gunman Man Haron Monis.
"Why is it that I have two legs that kind of don't work right now?" said Ms Mikhael, who was injured during the gunfire.
"I feel like I'm being treated like a criminal myself. I can't get my police statement, they won't give it to me.
"Yes I'm angry."
Ms Mikhael, who was reportedly paid more than $300,000 for the interview, said she felt uneasy about how the crisis was handled.
"I know there are a lot of officers who risked their lives to be there and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being ungrateful to them, but I just think the army would have been a better - more appropriate to be handling this situation," she said.
Ms Mikhael said she thought the police should have been proactive rather than just waiting.
She was also furious over the police response when she phoned with the gunman's demands.
"The prime minister is a very busy man," she recalls being told, and that he couldn't come to the phone.
"I yelled at him ... I was in disbelief."
The inquest into the events at the Lindt cafe was adjourned on January 29, with a future hearing date and location yet to be set.
