Had one of the failings been overturned, the terrorist attack which rocked a nation to the core might have been prevented.

A furious Mr Abbott yesterday vowed a swift outcome to an urgent review he ordered on Wednesday into every aspect of the siege.

He said the failings, which happened under a string of governments, were a “horrific wake-up call”.

“It may well have been a preventable atrocity, and that’s why this swift and thorough review is so important,’’ he said.

“This guy has a long history of violence, he has a long history of mental instability, he has a long criminal record and an obvious infatuation with extremism, so it was extraordinary he was on our streets.”

FAILED: GRANTED BAIL OVER MURDER

In December last year Man Monis was granted bail in Penrith Local Court despite being charged with being an accessory before and after the fact to killing his ex-wife Noleen Hayson Pal. She was stabbed 18 times and set alight in one of the state’s most brutal murders. Bail was granted under old bail laws that made it easier for criminals to be set free.

FAILED: SAVED FROM EXTRADITION

In 2000 Iran attempted to extradite Monis from Australia back to his homeland to face fraud charges. Monis had defrauded clients who had paid him money as part of the travel agency he owned.

Australia refused the request because there was no extradition treaty between the two nations.

FAILED: DROPPED OFF WATCH LIST

Intelligence agencies had Monis on the terror watch list before he dropped off it in about 2010.

Had he been on the list he more than likely would not have been granted bail.

FAILED: GRANTED CITIZENSHIP

Monis was granted Australian citizenship in 2004 despite a warrant being out in Iran for his arrest.

He should have faced justice in his homeland far earlier. Instead he was granted citizenship in Australia.

The Iranian foreign ministry said Australian authorities knew about Monis’s problems.

FAILED: ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTRY

The terrorist first came to Australia in 1996 and was granted political refugee status. The Iranian government were chasing him for fraud. Despite the allegations he was allowed into Australia.

FAILED: GIVEN LEGAL AID

After he wrote disgraceful letters to widows of Australian war heroes Monis used Legal Aid to go to the High Court in a bid for the trial to be aborted. The taxpayers paid the bill.

FAILED: GUN LICENCE MIX-UP

National databases, which interstate police use to share information, indicated Monis held a gun licence.

Mr Abbott confirmed on Wednesday Monis had a licence, but it was later revealed the database was wrong and the AFP was forced to explain the error in the system.

“The AFP has been working closely with CrimTrac, federal and state partners to establish the source of the entry, and to identify any shortfalls within the current system,’’ a statement said.

FAILED: ALLOWED TO LIVE ON WELFARE

The terrorist lived off the hard work of everyday Australians.

If he was not allowed to claim welfare it would have made it more difficult for him to stay in Australia.

FAILED: MULTIPLE IDENTITIES

Tracking the terrorist throughout his 18 years in Australia proved difficult because he had multiple aliases.

Man Haron Monis came to Australia as Mohammad Hassan Manteghi.

He was later known as Sheik Haron. It is believed he had other names.

FAILED: INFORMATION NOT SHARED

Questions have been raised about whether commonwealth and state agencies share enough information. It is believed agencies made decisions without having access to information that other agencies knew about. It will form part of the urgent review ordered by Prime Minister Abbott.
