BEFORE THE EVENT
In 1988 NSW Premier, Barry Unsworth said, It will take a massacre in Tasmania before we will be able to introduce gun laws. In March 1996 , less than a month before the massacre at Port Arthur, "the Gun Coalition's Tasmanian coordinator Mr. Rowland Brown, wrote to the Hobart Mercury newspaper warning of a Dunblane-style massacre in Tasmania unless the gun laws were changed" (SOURCE: The Australian Newspaper, 29 th April 1996).
Howard's Gun Legislation was drafted and printed before the massacre.
There was a 22-body morgue truck available. (IN TASMANIA?) How many of those are just lying around.
All of the senior Port Arthur staff members were away at a Work Seminar.
The Royal Hobart Hospital had put their Emergency Plan in place two days before the massacre.
The Hobart Hospital had a Trauma Seminar timed to end at the exact moment the shooting started.
The helicopter pilots were readily available that Sunday. (MOST UNUSUAL)
The local police were decoyed to be at the opposite end of the peninsula at the exact moment the shooting began.
There was a World Press Convention IN HOBART on the 30th April so there were plenty of reporters on hand.
Martin Bryant was an intellectually impaired, registered invalid with an IQ of 66.
IMMEDIATELY PRIOR
The killer sat next to the witness, Rebecca McKenna. The vital parts of her statement to the police interviewer were:
"This male was carrying a tray with his food on it". "His facial skin appeared to be................"
"When he sat down, he placed his video camera and bag on the floor and began to eat his lunch, I noticed that he had a can of Solo and a plastic Schweppes cup on the table" - "I saw him drink his cordial and I noticed that he appeared anxious -" -"The last thing I saw with regard to him was his tray falling out (explanation hand written: "tipping - didn't actually see it fall") of his hand as he was going back inside the cafeteria".
Bryant doesn't have a freckly face.
That tray was important. It was a personal ID card from the shooter. It contained finger prints, thumb prints, palm prints, saliva, sweat, skin and possibly hair from the shooter. That tray contained real physical evidence as to the identity of the shooter.
WHERE IS THE REPORT?
THE SHOOTING
The killer was right handed. Martin Bryant is left handed. The killer shot from the hip (right handed).
The killer shot 32 people killing 20 and injuring 12
The killer scored twenty head shots, from the right hip, in 90 seconds! There are only about 20 shooters that good (better than Olympians) in the Western World. They are the SPOOKS who work for various governments. The killer stopped shooting after firing 29 shots (of the 30 in a magazine). This leaves a live round in the breech while changing magazines. To count while firing at a rate of 48 rounds per minute is a technique that requires tens of thousands of shots to perfect. It is a military skill-at-arms far beyond a mentally retarded youth who fired at a few tins and bits of cardboard in the bush.
The "official" police version says the massacre was first reported at 13.35 pm by Port Arthur Security Manager, Ian Kingston. According to police, he went into the café while the shooting was going on, and backed out. Then reported the massacre.
Wendy Scurr was the lady who held the phone out of the window to convince the police there was shooting in progress. The police don't want to acknowledge Wendy. She doesn't believe the "official" police version. In fact, Wendy tours Australia on speaking tours telling all that the "official" version is fiction. Wendy is pleading for a trial for Bryant.
ABOUT VIDEO : wendy scurr was the first person into the broad arrow cafe after the pt arthur massacre, she has a completely different story to tell from the mainstream media , the police and the federal and state governments, find out just how much disinformation and myths have been created around the pre planned pt arthur massacre ,if you watch this film with an open mind you will never be the same again period. also go to the NEXUS magazine website and download from the their archives section a brilliant 3 part series of articles in PDF format on the event time to take the red pill and wake up to what's really going on in our world.
PART 2 of a lecture given at the inverell forum 2001 detailing the myths and spin around this obviously false flag operation. listen to the information and see for yourself how many holes there are in the official version of events surrounding the Pt Arthur massacre Martin Bryant is the fall guy for an international conspiracy period. go to the NEXUS magazine archives and download the brilliant 3 part series on Pt Arthur in PDF format to find out why the official story is total bullshit,
FLAWED EVIDENCE
According to police the Martins were shot at Seascape, while police evidence also proves Bryant was at a service station 57 kilometres away. Police say he arrived at the Historic Site at 1.15pm. The police have proof that he was there at 12.45pm.
Sally Martin was seen to run around Seascape naked that afternoon. Police say Bryant killed her that morning. Audio tape of the "negotiations" recorded shots from a rifle from upstairs at Seascape while Bryant was downstairs talking to police on the phone. There was no phone upstairs.
Police were pinned down by fire from the shed and the Seascape Cottage. That is a good trick for a lone gunman.
Bryant fired two shots at 6.30pm at Port Arthur while he was under siege by police at Seascape.
There was a suspect black van allowed outside the Broad Arrow Cafe afterwards. It wasn't the federal, state or interstate police. All civilian vehicle traffic was excluded.
Several suspicious non-locals exited the area via the Mersey Bridge. This bridge was a security shut down point operated by police in case of an emergency.
All evidence of the shooting was removed from the building to make it a sacred site. This is no coincidence. CONFLICTING EVIDENCE
Bryant must have had infra red night vision to tell police their sniper was unwelcome and had to move on.
Police records indicate they were shot at from two Seascape buildings at once during the night of the siege.
DELIBERATELY CHANGED EVIDENCE
The killer sat next to the witness, Rebecca McKenna. She said -
"This male was carrying a tray with his food on it". "His facial skin appeared to be............
"When he sat down, he placed his video camera and bag on the floor and began to eat his lunch, I noticed that he had a can of Solo and a plastic Schweppes cup on the table" - "I saw him drink his cordial and I noticed that he appeared anxious -" -"The last thing I saw with regard to him was his tray falling out (explanation hand written: "tipping -didn't actually see it fall") of his hand as he was going back inside the cafeteria".
The statement has been altered to say "The last thing I saw with regard to him was his tray falling out of his hand as he was going back inside the cafeteria". However, Rebecca caught the change and hand wrote into the margin "tipping - didn't actually see it fall".
So the police, just four weeks after the massacre, were trying to get rid of the tray as evidence. Why hasn't it been mentioned? The disappearance of this vital evidence is not accidental. THEY HAVE GOT RID OF THE TRAY EVIDENCE and there will have been a successful CONSPIRACY TO PERVERT THE COURSE OF JUSTICE if there is no trial with all evidence put to a jury by a lawyer that is loyal to his client, honest, competent, or at least impartial.
TOO MUCH COINCIDENCE The rifles were destroyed by BREECH BLASTS so ballistic tests could be carried out to identify the murder weapons. Breech blasts that could destroy a gun are so rare as to be unheard of this century. The one blast pushed fluid brass into the steel breech block. It must have been a nuclear charge. That is just nonsense or planned DEMOLITION to allow false evidence.
THE ILLEGALITY OF THE TRIAL There was no Coronial Inquiry. There should have been one. A Coronial Inquiry is required -
(a) When foreign nationals are killed
(b) When there are deaths by fire
Both requirements were met. Why was the law broken to prohibit the inquiry?
The Evidence Act requires that ALL evidence be considered. At the Kangaroo Court more evidence was concealed than was presented. There is a difference between presenting a transcript and dealing with specific sections and editing a transcript until there is nothing left by way of evidence the Bryant case the prosecution so gutted the transcript that there was nothing left. Only a few comments favourable to the prosecution case got to the court
The court transcript shows that more was edited than was presented. REFER: Mr Perks, For the Prosecution, Pages 190-194 "Your Honour, if I could take you to Volume 3 of the Crown papers, a transcript of that interview commences at page 19 and, if I could refer your Honour to the actual page numbers of the interview I will give an indication as to which parts of the interview have been deleted for the present purposes.

We know that 52 of the first 146 pages of transcript were not presented. The excuse was that the video recorder failed so the transcript had to be reconstructed from the audio tape that was made independently at the same time. The back-up didn't fail. How the hell could the written transcript be in any way affected? This is baloney.
Many hundreds of pages that followed were not presented. Of those I have read I do not believe any sane police officer would suggest Bryant was the killer. That is why the police didn't get to testify. Bryant was not just one sandwich-short-of-a-picnic; he was obviously not capable of what we would consider normal thought processes.
Nor did he have a clue about the events at Port Arthur. The killer was heard to use the acronym WASPs (White Anglo Saxon Protestants). This term may be familiar to world travellers but Martin wasn't even in the same ball park. AND he wasn't pretending. The transcript revealed so much as to Bryant's mental capacity that it could not be allowed into a court room if the intent was to frame Bryant, and convince the jury that this handicapped individual was the Rambo Class killer who killed 35 in a random shooting spree. THERE WAS NO PROPER TRIAL
There was torture. That is illegal.
Bryant was held in solitary confinement for at least ten times the maximum allowable as punishment in war under the Geneva Convention.
He confessed to get a TV set in his room
After that much solitary men go mad or confess to anything. Bryant was mentally retarded.
What happened to the lab report on the tray/cutlery/can/cup/plate?
Did Bryant's fingerprints and DNA show up on the tray and contents?
The evidence was tampered with and not presented (withheld). WHY?
The carry bag also carried samples of the killer's DNA.
If some vital evidence is given to the prosecutor, then the prosecutor is duty bound, by law, to give that vital evidence to the defence. We know there were heaps of the killer's DNA. Does anyone believe the NSW CIB didn't fingerprint and DNA. The tray/cutlery/can/cup/plate, recorded in witness statements, is clearly visible on the police video and forensic photos.
Bryant managed to get himself convicted of murder and get life without one witness being called.
He managed to stay in a heavily burning building, shooting and yelling at police and get severe burns only on his back.
MEDIA MISCHIEF OR FRAMING
The media nationwide display his photo to witnesses to influence them; and to print false stories about him.
Channel Nine fabricated a video showing Bryant running away from the Broad Arrow Café. According to Joe Vialls' analysis - the Bryant head superimposed on the running figure is a still photo, with a fixed angle and facial expression. This is not possible while running. The body running is that of XXXX.
AFTER
The Federal Liberals and Nationals (with the approval of the ALP) offered bribes to the States in the form of diesel subsidies and they threatened to cut State funding. It is a crime to offer threats or inducements to influence the votes of elected members in parliament.
I have a letter signed by Tasmanian Senator Xxx stating ART
After 8 years, we know where the tray was - it was right next to the "blue bag". It was left exactly where the shooter put it down. All the evidence was preserved for the police investigation. Here is a picture of the fake picture shown on television and the real "blue bag" and the tray in the Café.
There is enough material for investigators to believe he is innocent and put up a good case. If it was your son in jail you would want him to have a trial.
Scores of other witnesses can't understand why the media reports differ greatly from what they saw and heard.
A thirty year embargo was placed on evidence in relation to the Port Arthur massacre. WHY? That smacks of skulduggery. There can be no legitimate excuse.
It is impossible for a reasonable person to come to the conclusion Bryant was the lone killer.
It is impossible that others weren't involved.
It is obvious that a set-up and cover-up has occurred.
Those who were prepared to leave him to burn to death in Seascape saw Martin Bryant as expendable.
The eye witnesses can't understand why their testimony recorded by police was not used.
A thirty year embargo was placed on the evidence - WHY?
Many honest police can see that the bulk of evidence points to others.
Bryant is so retarded he might know what guilty means but he would not have a clue as to the implications of a guilty plea.
There are grounds for a trial. This is not a retrial. This would be a first trial with evidence presented to a jury.
A faked picture of the bag was shown of TV and put up on the internet. When alert viewers saw the ploy the picture was replaced with a fake tracing. In the digital camera era one must ask - WHY TRACE? What is going on?
Getting rid of the lab report in regards to the tray is one thing. However, anyone taking a look at that video would immediately ask about the tray and whether there was a lab report - so the tray also had to be "lost"! No tray, no report. Thus the fake picture we all saw on television. BUT WHY?
THE ETERNAL QUESTION
Why would anyone fabricate a massacre, kill 35 innocent people, and frame a mentally retarded youth? The real question is can you, the reader; cope with truth too terrible to contemplate? Nobody asks you to blindly believe what I put to you. I do ask that you ask for the results of the DNA tests on clues left by the real killer to be crosschecked with the DNA of Martin Bryant.
You know, in your heart, that the police and the government will never answer your request or comply with the requirement so you already know their guilt. What are you going to do? You also might think that you are powerless but that feeling of entrapment is only in the mind. You can send this to hundreds of people asking them to keep sending it to hundreds of people until the truth comes out one way or the other.
WHO GAINS?
Whenever we are confronted with so called "conspiracy theories", it often helps to ask the question, "Who gains?" In the Port Arthur massacre, it was the desire to bring in onerous gun legislation. They knew we have inherited the right to keep and bear arms from the Bill of Rights 1688 and they can't change it.
However, they also knew that if they had a good excuse a large number in the population would forego one of our basic rights to try to protect themselves from a similar incident in the future. Without the Port Arthur massacre the people of Australia would never have allowed the governments to take away one of most precious rights.
Why this is strange derives from 4 facts. The State of Tasmania had prior to the incident on average 6 murders per year - and they did not all occur on the same day, place or time - that works out to one murder every 2 months - so why would such a truck be needed ? No other State in Australia had one like it. These facts are compounded by the fact the truck was acquired and specially built shortly before ( June 1995 ) the Port Arthur massacre and sold 2 years later ( see fax copy of advertisement offering for sale below ) .

- The Morgue Truck -
One of the strangest co-incidences about the Port Arthur
incident is the fact the Tasmanian authorities had at their
disposal a special refrigerated morgue
truck capable of carrying 22 bodies.
( A picture of this truck is below ).

Was it built especially for the massacre to control access
to the bodies from the Broad Arrow Cafe ? .
Why was this truck, acquired at great expense, sold ?

Had its use been fulfilled and they knew it would never be needed again ?
Also isn't it a strange co-incidence the number of dead
Also isn't it a strange co-incidence the number of dead
in the Broad Arrow Cafe closely matches the capacity of this morgue truck?
And why did Tasmanian Police usher
And why did Tasmanian Police usher
away media reporters from this truck on the day ?
Update 8th May 2001 -
The latest info reported to this site on this morgue truck is the owner was unable to sell it and 6 weeks ago the mortuary box on the back was removed and put on a Mercedes Army truck - then both vehicles disappeared. That was just after the details of this morgue truck were publically disclosed by the investigator at a public meeting in Queensland.
What was an Army truck doing with it ? And isn't the timing of its disappearance strange - trying to hide something ? Is there an Army connection to what happened at Port Arthur ?
Update 31 Dec 2001 -
We have had it positively confirmed the morgue truck was constructed around June 1995 - just in time to be up and running and not attract immediate suspicion prior to the massacre.
MARTIN BRYANT’S MOTHER SPEAKS OUT
When Carleen left Tasmania some weeks ago she was unaware that others had recently spoken out on behalf of her son, most prominent being Brigadier Ted Serong DSO OBE, the former head of Australian Forces in Vietnam and one of the world’s leading experts on counter-terrorist techniques and their application. In an interview with Frank Robson in the Sydney Morning Herald on 10 April 1999, Brigadier Serong makes it plain that Martin Bryant could not have been responsible for the mass murder at Port Arthur. "There was an almost satanic accuracy to that shooting performance" he says. "Whoever did it is better than I am, and there are not too many people around here better than I am". He continues "Whoever did it had skills way beyond anything that could reasonably be expected of this chap Bryant ... if it was someone of only average skills, there would have been many less killed and many more wounded. It was the astonishing proportion of killed to wounded that made me open my eyes first off." Brigadier Serong believes more than one person was involved and directly infers that the mass murder at Port Arthur was a terrorist action designed to undermine Australian national security. "It was part of a deliberate attempt to disarm the population, but I don’t believe John Howard or his Government were involved. Howard is being led down a track. He doesn’t know where it’s leading, and he doesn’t much care..."
PEOPLE FOR A CORONIAL ENQUIRY INTO THE PORT ARTHUR MASSACRE
John Howard acted illegally when he ordered the Coronial Inquiry to be abandoned
PEOPLE FOR A CORONIAL INQUIRY:
Public Meeting, Wednesday 29th September 2004, 7.30 pm, Admission $5.00
You probably believe that Martin Bryant, acting alone, carried out the Port Arthur massacre on Sunday 28th April 1996. If so, can you reconcile the following facts with the official story?
1. On the Sunday morning, two hours before the murders, ten of the senior managers of Port Arthur were taken to safety many miles away up the east coast, for a two day seminar with a vague agenda and no visiting speakers. Was the timing of this trip a mere coincidence?
2. Also just before the shootings the only two policemen in the region were called away on a wild goose chase. They were sent to the Coal Mine at Salt Water River, to investigate a heroin drug stash which turned out to be soap powder. This was too far for them to get to the Broad Arrow Cafe in time to be of any use. Had the policeman remained at Dunalley he would have closed the swing bridge to prevent the killer(s) from escaping from the peninsula. Did Bryant, IQ 66, organise this decoy?
3. Big Mortuary Truck. Before the massacre, a specially-built 22 person capacity mortuary truck was built. It attracted some derision at the time, but its effective use at Port Arthur was unquestioned. After the massacre it was advertised, unsuccessfully, for sale via the internet, then converted for another purpose. Without the foresight of Port Arthur, why build it? When it had proven its worth, why get rid of it? Another coincidence?
4. Martin Bryant has never been properly identified as the gunman. A young woman who ate her lunch near the gunman just before 1.30 said he had a freckled face. Graham Collyer, the wounded ex-soldier, who had the best opportunity to observe the killer, said he had a pock- marked or acned face. Neither description fits Bryant who has a beautifully smooth complexion. Graham Collyer says that it was not Bryant who shot him in the neck.
5. Illegal Photo. On 30th April the Hobart Mercury printed an old photo of Martin Bryant on the front page. This was illegal because at that stage some of the witnesses had not yet been asked to identify the killer, and the photo would have become fixed in the minds of the witnesses. When one witness was asked to describe the clothing worn by the gunman, she described the clothing on the old photo instead of what the gunman had worn. The Mercury newspaper was not prosecuted for breaking the law.
6. Mrs Wendy Scurr, nurse, tour guide and Ambulance Officer, rang the police at 1.32 pm to report the shooting. She and other medics then cared for the injured and the dead without any police protection for six and a half hours. Who ordered the armed police to stop at Tarana where they had a barbecue? Even the police who arrived by boats and were a stone's throw away from the main crime scene in the cafe, also failed to come in to see what was going on. Was this lack of protection meant to increase the trauma of the survivors?
7. Three more shots were fired at Port Arthur at 6.30 while Bryant was at Seascape. Who fired those shots?
8. Same Question - Different Answer. At a recent Forensics Seminar in Queensland where Tasmanian Police forensic gun inspector, Gerard Dutton, gave a lecture, the first question came from Mr Ian McNiven. He asked if there was any empirical evidence to link Martin Bryant to the Broad Arrow Cafe. Sargent Dutton immediately closed the 15 minute question time and would not reply. When McNiven managed to say "I have here Graham Collyer's police statement...", Sgt Dutton threatened him with arrest and called for security agents to escort McNiven out of the building. When Dutton was asked the same question in America by a Doctor at a seminar, he replied truthfully - "There is no empirical evidence to link Bryant to the cafe".
9. Yet a police video tape exists which proves that the police had an excellent opportunity to get DNA samples and finger prints of the gunman. The video briefly shows the blue sports bag on a cafe table. The gunman had carried his 3 rifles in this bag and left it right next to his drinking glass, his Solo soft drink can, knife, fork, plate, etc. Why did the police fail to take DNA samples and finger prints?
10. According to the official story, Bryant first killed David and Sally Martin at Seascape Cottage in the morning, then went on to Port Arthur. Yet two policemen have reported seeing a naked woman with black hair, screaming and running from one building to another at Seascape well into the afternoon. If Sally Martin was dead, who was this woman?
11. Proof of other gunmen in Seascape Cottage. While Bryant was calmly talking to police by telephone in the cottage during the 'siege' and the conversation was recorded, someone else fired an SKK rifle 20 times. In the transcript the gunfire is recorded as 'coughs' but an electronic analysis of one of the 'coughs' shows that it was an SKK shot.
12. Two More Very Handy Seminars. On the Sunday morning, some 25 specialist doctors (Royal Australian College of Surgeons) from all over Australia had attended a training course in Hobart, and their last lecture was on Terrorist Attack and Gunshot Wounds. They stayed on to take care of the wounded victims.
13. Also, more than 700 reporters from 17 nations came to a seminar in Hobart. They were asked to arrive during the week-end as the seminar was due to begin early on Monday morning. How handy to have 700 scribblers on the spot, churning out their anti-gun and disarmament propaganda to the whole world!
14. "There will never be uniform Gun Laws in Australia until we see a massacre somewhere in Tasmania", said Barry Unsworth, NSW Premier, December, 1987 at a conference in Hobart. Prophecy or Planning?
15. "If we don't get it right this time (gun laws) next time there is a massacre, and there will be, then they'll take all our guns off us", said the deputy prime minister, Tim Fischer in May 1996. Who is the "THEY" who would order the removal of our guns? Did Fischer let slip that gun confiscation has been ordered by someone other than our own leaders?
16. No Respect for the Law. Our law demands that a Coronial Inquiry must take place (a) when foreign nationals are killed and (b) when anyone dies in a fire.
At Port Arthur several foreigners were killed and three people died in the fire at Seascape.
John Howard acted illegally when he ordered the Coronial Inquiry to be abandoned.
NEW INFORMATION
The above information has been known to many people for quite some time. But, at the public meeting on Wednesday 29th September, Mr Andrew MacGregor will present New info that will ASTOUND you. To quote him exactly, "It will knock the socks off you". Be there with your friends for a historic meeting. The $5 admission is to pay for airfares, advertising, hall hire, etc. Andrew Macgregor was a policeman in Victoria for 17 years.
Launceston, 29 September 2004
For many years now Mrs Olga Scully has been spreading the Word of God, and anything else that she considers to be liberating the mind from government deception and lies. She is never alone in this quest, and so it came to pass that over one hundred concerned citizens attended at Launceston, Tasmania, a public meeting to hear retired Victorian policeman, Andrew MacGregor, canvas his new findings on the Port Arthur Massacre.
The impetus to MacGregor's new research comes from his viewing of an official police training video - for police eyes only - about the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre. Fate's hand, or Divine intervention, made it possible for this video to enter the public domain. How? Mrs Olga Scully, Launceston, is well known for her activist work, especially in copying and distributing videos. She buys used videos for about $1,- each, fills them with Revisionist material, then distributes them - usually free of charge. From where does she obtain her videos? Mrs Scully visits the various city rubbish dumps that have since been privatised. There are countless videos available for purchase at the dump shop. On a particular day she bought at the Hobart rubbish tip a cart-load (literally hundreds) of used video tapes. Once home, she cleans them of dust, and she also briefly glances at the titles. Mrs Scully noticed that she had a Tasmania Police Training tape in her hands. It was from the Tasmanian Police training unit that, using original scenes shot on the day of the Port Arthur massacre, 28 April 1996, a video was produced that offered the official version of vents.
She sent her copy to a known gun-lobbyist, and from there it hit the headlines that a police training video had reached the public domain. The Tasmania Police attempted to reign in any damage this tape's information could have on the official Port Arthur Terrorist theory, as expounded by official government sources - and also by the leading news media. There is also now the rumour circulating that some Tasmania police members are actually selling the video to those who wish to acquire a copy.
Public Police directives were issued that claimed the possession and viewing of the video was a criminal matter, and so, surprise, surprise, Mrs Scully received visits from the media and from the police. Unfortunately for her enemies, Mrs Scully is fearless and thus the video had left her hand and had already reached the 'in the public domain' legal status.

Port Arthur Massacre - A Speech by Mr Andrew MacGregor
Thank you all for coming here tonight to listen to me. It has been 6
years since Wendy Scurr and I last spoke here on the Port Arthur massacre,
and since then a lot of evidence has turned up that totally disputes
everything the media and our governments have stated. It is though my
belief that we may have some people here who are not aware of what Wendy
and I stated last time, so I shall start from the beginning. That's
always a good place to start.

For Martin Bryant to have acted in the manner described by our media and
the government in murdering 35 people at Port Arthur on the 28th April
1996, there would have been a massive built up of anger and frustration.
The Tasmania Police Negotiator, Sgt Terry McCarthy referred to this
expectation, but noted that it was entirely absent from Martin Bryant,
when Sgt McCarthy was speaking to him during the Siege at Seascape
Cottage. Sgt McCarthy made another observation of Martin Bryant.
McCarthy stated it was as though he (Martin Bryant) was speaking from a
script.

Martin Bryant's girlfriend, Petra Willmott gave us another clue. Petra
made two vital statements, (1) that Martin wouldn't hurt a fly, and (2)
that Martin was always looking for action. Martin once drove past a motor
car accident, and drove around it a couple of times to check it out. Now
what Petra was not aware of was the fact that Martin Bryant was not
licensed to drive a motor car. If we compare this story with that of
Angelo Kessarios from the Midway Newsagency, who knew Martin Bryant when
he resided at Copping, and that Bryant used to drive in the early morning,
that is prior to 6.00 am to avoid police, but just prior to the Port
Arthur massacre, Bryant had lost his fear of being caught by the police.
I wonder if this change of behaviour had anything to do with Bryant's
friendship with the Tasmania Police's only full-time SOG member, Sgt
Michael Charles Dyson.

Angelo Kessarios from the Midway Newsagency, who knew Martin Bryant when
he resided at Copping, and that Bryant used to drive in the early morning,
that is prior to 6.00 am to avoid police, but just prior to the Port
Arthur massacre, Bryant had lost his fear of being caught by the police.
I wonder if this change of behaviour had anything to do with Bryant's
friendship with the Tasmania Police's only full-time SOG member, Sgt
Michael Charles Dyson.
On Sunday the 28th April 1996, Martin Bryant's journey from New Town to
Seascape Cottage was remembered by various witnesses, as though to
document this particular trip.

Sorell Supermarket, a small store, not a giant Coles or Safeway. Then
there was Gary King from the Shell Service Station at Forcett, who served
Bryant with some coffee between 11 am and midday and Bryant sat in his car
and drank that coffee for about 8 to 10 minutes. Now please notice that
in each of these incidents where Martin Bryant has been identified, Bryant
has actually broken his journey to Seascape Cottage, entered a business
premises and has acted in a manner that caused the witness to remember
him. Then there was Christopher Hammond at Taranna, where Martin Bryant
bought some petrol for the Volvo. Please note here that the petrol did
not go into any container, and again the broken journey.

Then there was the witness not called for by the DPP, but who saw Martin
Bryant driving the Volvo at Eaglehawk Neck at 11.30 am. And finally we
have Jai Nichols who was hitch-hiking from Port Arthur to Hobart, and saw
the Volvo drive past him just after he passed the Fox and Hounds Hotel.
Then at about 12.30pm Jai saw the Volvo pass him heading back towards
Hobart, and he actually saw the Volvo brake, and he thought he had a ride,
but the Volvo turned right into Seascape Cottage.

Witnesses Andrew Simmons and his wife Lynn were outside of their house

Now the DPP, Mr Damian Bugg QC told the Hobart Supreme Court that the
shots heard by Andrew and Lynn Simmons killed David and Sally Martin. The
fact that Constable Gary Whittle saw Mrs Sally Martin naked, running
around the back yard of Seascape Cottage yelling and screaming, after 2.30
pm, and that the dog was barking, means that Mrs Sally Martin was not shot
at 10.40 am. In fact according to a report by Sgt Gerard Dutton, Mrs
Martin died from multiple fractures to the back of her skull, while David
Martin was shot twice.

I would like to pass by the actual shooting at Port Arthur and go directly
to the Siege at Seascape Cottage.
to the Siege at Seascape Cottage.
After the shootings at Port Arthur and the kidnapping of Glen Pears, the
gunman, and this was not Martin Bryant, drove back to Seascape Cottage,
drove across the highway and parked the Volvo facing oncoming traffic
outside Seascape and then started to shoot-up the oncoming traffic. One
of the first cars that was shot up was driven by a Canadian diplomat Simon
Williams, and both Simon and his wife Susanne Williams received wounds
from the fractured glass, Mrs Williams losing her left little finger. It
has been noted that the Canadian High Commissioner to Australia had
visited the Port Arthur Historic Site in the month prior to the massacre.

After this shooting spree, the gunman then jumps back into the Volvo, and
drives down to the front of Seascape Cottage, and reverses up to the front
door. Track marks were clearly visible from later overhead photographs
taken of Seascape Cottage, showing the tracks made by the Volvo from that
position at the front door of Seascape Cottage, to the rear of the
cottages on very wet ground, to where the Volvo was parked, and bogged
beside some curly willow trees.

At approximately 2.30pm the first two policemen arrive at Seascape;
Constable Paul Hyland from Nubeena, the local station and Constable Gary
Whittle from Taranna.
Constable Paul Hyland from Nubeena, the local station and Constable Gary
Whittle from Taranna.
Constable Whittle parks the police car at the top of the driveway into
Seascape and thus blocks that venue for any escape attempt. Constable
Hyland drives his car up the road about 200 metres to the high ground and
thus has the best view possible of the area. It is at this stage that
Constable Whittle sees a naked female running about in the back yard of
Seascape Cottage, yelling and screaming, and this can only be Mrs Sally
Martin.

Think about this for a moment. Constable Hyland has been made aware that
he has a mass murderer armed with some very high-powered rifles in
Seascape Cottage, and yet he permits two ambulances to drive past him and
into range of the killer at Seascape Cottage.

We have only one ambulance where the driver stated that he drove past
Seascape Cottage and that was Jim Giffard from Taranna. Jim actually told
Wendy Scurr that he had to slow down to avoid colliding with the two
police cars that were blocking the highway at Seascape.

In other words, when the ambulance went past Seascape Cottage, Constable
Whittle's police car was in the driveway, and Constable Hyland's police
car and another police car were blocking the highway just north of
Seascape Cottage. The other police car belonged to the SOG member, Sgt
Andrew Mark Fogarty, the policeman who set fire to the BMW (so as to
negate it being used as a get-away vehicle, according to a Tasmania Police
CIB member) and to Seascape Cottage on the following morning.

Now what you must remember is that the gunman after shooting all the
people at Port Arthur, kidnapping Glean Pears and shooting his companion
Zoe Hall, and then driving to Seascape where he shot up several passing
cars including the Canadian Diplomat, there is no shooting at this stage.
I guess the gunman was having his smoko. I wonder if Const Hyland was

Another police-car arrives driven by Constable Pat Allen, and Pat Allen
also drives past Seascape Cottage and drops his offsider Perry Caulfield
off at the Fox and Hounds Hotel, and then returns to back-up Constable

has finished his smoko and the shooting is back on.

Why was there this break in the shooting????
The gunman at Seascape, or perhaps gunmen, as there were reports of the
gunman shooting from two different buildings, and of shots being fired at
police whilst those police had the gunman in view, but without seeing the
gunman shooting at them. The Tasmania Police alleged that the gunman
fired over 250 shots during the siege at Seascape Cottage.

Deputy Commissioner, later Commissioner Richard McCreadie gave us two

Neither of these explanations stand up to scrutiny. However, in one of
the police negotiator tapes between Sgt Terry McCarthy and Martin Bryant,
we have Bryant talking whilst in another room, somebody fires an SKK
rifle. There were in excess of 20 such shots recorded on the Police
Negotiator tapes whilst Bryant was talking with Sgt McCarthy. In other
words, Martin Bryant is not the gunman.

It was recorded that Martin Bryant's companion inside Seascape Cottage was
called 'Rick'. Police and the media have put forward the idea that 'Rick'
was actually the hostage, Glen Pears, but that is not correct.

After reading the Police negotiator tape transcripts, we realise that
Martin Bryant knows Rick quite well, has met 'Rick's wife', is aware of
the family connections and that the family resides in Lauderdale, and that
Rick is a top member of the Tasmania Police SOG's. It also becomes
obvious that Rick was running the show. Then with other information we
were able to identify Rick as being Mick Dyson, or to use his full name
and title, Sgt Michael Charles Dyson of the Tasmania Police SOG.

According to police statements Martin Bryant's photograph was circulated
amongst the police SOG's headquarters at about 10.30pm on the Sunday
night. In other words, the Tasmania Police had identified 'Jamie' at
Seascape as Martin Bryant and besides the photograph would have had a
fairly accurate description of him, including his inability with firearms.

With this in mind, when we look at Sup't Bob Fielding's synopsis that the
SOG's would have suffered a 30% casualty rate if they had tried to take
the gunman, as somewhat ludicrous. Of course, after years of training and
preparations for such an event, and the writing of several scenarios
similar to 'Die-Hard' films, perhaps for them it was a possibility, but
for the last seven years of my police experience, the quickest way to end
a siege was to send in a police dog. The SOG however prefer to use
firearms and arson.

Now this concludes the parts of the Port Arthur massacre that featured
Martin Bryant. We can prove with the various witness statements that
Martin Bryant was not present at the murder of David Martin. We can
demonstrate that somebody else and we believe that person was Sgt Michael
Charles Dyson who fired at police during the siege of Seascape Cottage,
and who we also believe murdered Mrs Sally Martin by smashing the back of
her skull in with a very angry blow from the butt of his rifle.

The gunman at Port Arthur.
The first sighting of the gunman at Port Arthur was by Gaye Lynd and her
companion Vicki, whose van had broken down just outside Seascape Cottage
due to overheating, and the girls had stopped and were letting the motor
cool down before putting some water into the radiator.

The Volvo sedan complete with surfboard on top pulled up behind their van
and the blonde haired driver got out and asked what was wrong. Now the
blonde-haired driver must have had a nose for it, and must have smelt the
marijuana that Vicki had smoked because he asked if they had any for sale
and the two girls sold him a packet for $50 and he paid for with a $50
note. He also told the girls that he was going to the 'Isle of the Dead'
to kill some wasps. Then when the girl's van wouldn't start, he reached
inside the van to the battery, juggled with the leads, and said here's
your problem, you have a loose lead. The van started and off went the
girls.

This was not Martin Bryant, for three obvious reasons.
(1) Martin Bryant did not partake in drugs, including marijuana.
(2) Martin Bryant knew nothing about the electrical system in motor cars.
(3) Martin Bryant knew nothing about the two busloads of American tourists
that had arrived just prior at the Port Arthur Historic Site.

It is interesting to note that neither of these two girls were given the

The gunman then drives to the tollbooth at the Port Arthur Historic Site,
where he again pays the entrance fee with a $50 note. Again, something
happens and there is a small commotion and Aileen Kingston has cause to
remember the driver, and later identifies the gunman by Martin Bryant's
passport photograph, the passport being found by police in the Volvo's
glovebox.

The gunman parks the Volvo in the bus carpark. There were some
complications here, but the gunman ended up parking the Volvo where he
wished to park. He then went into the information office to collect his
ferry ticket and discovered that the ferry schedule had been altered.

The gunman then went into the Broad Arrow Café, stood in the queue, with
his very heavy 'Prince' sports bag and bulky video camera, bought two
drinks and some sandwiches for lunch, went out on the balcony scoffed down
the lunch, mumbled a lot to himself, tried to chat up Rebecca McKenna,
then still carrying his sports bag and video camera, picked up the tray
with his scraps on, tried to re-enter the café, almost lost the tray, had
the door held open for him, went inside the café, placed the tray on an
empty table, opened up the bag withdrew the AR-15 and started the
massacre.

The shooting has now started in the Broad Arrow Café. I would now like to
go back to what the gunman said to Gaye Lynd and her friend Vicki at the
broken down van outside Seascape Cottage. "I'm going to the Isle of the
dead to kill some wasps." What did the gunman say to Rebecca McKenna?
"There's a lot of wasps around. There's not many Japs."

So now in the Broad Arrow Café, where the shooting has started and once
the patrons realised what was going on they all dived for the only cover
they could find. For most, it was on the floor under their tables, except
for one man, Anthony Nightingale, a loans officer from the Commonwealth
bank at Noble Park. He jumped up and called out to the gunman, "No, no,
not here!!!" Apparently Anthony Nightingale was also aware that the ferry
was to have been the target. For his actions, Anthony Nightingale was
shot in the neck and was killed, and the gunman simply walked around the
café shooting his victims in the head as they lay on the floor.

Another of the victims was a former South African Cape Coloured by the

Africa in 1984 where he was 2IC of the NCA, Nelson Mandela's Communist
Party under the Lithuanian Jew Joe Slovo. After Joe's wife was killed by
a letter bomb, and Nelson had decreed that there would be no Cape
Coloureds in the NCA, Tony Kistan migrated to Sydney where he joined the
Salvation Army. By the way his sister is still a spokeswoman for the
South African Gun Control Lobby.

The only American who was wounded inside the Broad Arrow Café was Dennis
Olson, who was with his wife, Mary on their 'honeymoon'. Dennis received
shotgun pellet wounds to the face chest and arm. Dennis told a media
interview held in the Royal Hobart Hospital that when he returned to
America he would be jumping on a soap box to talk about his passion, gun

Now the gunman on completion of the shooting inside the Broad Arrow Café,
reloaded the weapon he was carrying, took his sports bag which contained
his other weapons, the AR10 and the Daewoo shotgun, and left Martin
Bryant's 'Prince' sportsbag and video camera on the table inside the café,
and then left the café, shooting in the air to dispel any nearby persons.
Wendy Scurr was told by Ashley Law that as she and her companions fled
from the Information Centre the gunman fired over their heads.

The gunman then went down to the bus parking area and continued to shoot

then left the carpark, in the Volvo, driving towards the tollbooth, where
he saw Nanette Mikac with her two young daughters. The gunman stopped the

Mrs Mikac, who was carrying her three year old daughter, with the six year
old beside her, and had already fled 600 metres, would have believed that
they were being offered assistance, instead they were being lured to their
death. What this means is that they had been deliberately selected as

out of all the fleeing survivors, why?

The gunman then drove the Volvo to the tollbooth where he parked the Volvo
on the grass to the left of the carriageway. Witnesses who had driven up
to the tollbooth totally unaware of what had occurred inside Port Arthur
saw the BMW and the Volvo parked on either side of the tollbooth. They
also saw Mrs Helene Salzmann seated in the front passenger seat of the
Volvo, and Mr Robert Salzmann seated in the rear right passenger seat of
the Volvo. This is not an error. The witnesses saw the Salzmanns seated
not in the BMW but the Volvo. They then saw Robert Salzmann get out of
the rear passenger seat of the Volvo and start arguing with the driver of
the Volvo, an unarmed person with long blonde hair. They then saw the
driver of the Volvo walk around the front of the Volvo, and emerge from
the rear of the Volvo carrying a rifle. This rifle could only have been
collected from the rear left passenger side of the Volvo, right next to
where David Salzmann was seated. They then watched the gunman shoot
Robert Salzmann.

The driver of the BMW, Russell Pollard then left the driver's seat of the
BMW and walked over to the gunman as if to challenge him, and the gunman
then shot Russell Pollard. Mrs Salzmann had by this time got out of the
front passenger seat, and simply stood at the rear left passenger door,
and the gunman walked up to her and shot her, the bullet passing through
her body and then smashing the rear left passenger door window. The
gunman then walked over to the BMW dragged Mrs Rose Nixon out of the BMW
and then shot her.

Now why did the BMW after the people inside this car witness the murder of
Mrs Mikac and her two daughters drive to the tollbooth, and stop at the
entrance to the Port Arthur Historic Site? Why didn't they flee for their
lives as other people had done? Why did the Salzmanns leave the BMW and
get into the Volvo sedan with a known killer? They had seen the gunman
kill the Mikacs, so why did they get into the Volvo?

Could it have been that since they were 'Intelligence' agents, and were
part of the plan that they thought they were invulnerable? Apparently so.

The Port Arthur Massacre as a planned anti-terrorist exercise was a major
cock-up. The original plan called for the killing of American tourists on
the ferry, and then beaching the ferry at Seascape Cottage. They didn't
take into account that the ferry schedule had a fortnight prior changed
from the summer schedule to the winter schedule. This would have left the
Volvo at Port Arthur with all of it's clues intact, such as Martin
Bryant's passport.

But there was also a required 'hostage' to explain the presence of 'Rick'
at Seascape Cottage with Martin Bryant. So how could the gunman steal the
BMW and thus leave the Volvo behind at the tollbooth without murdering the
occupants? He couldn't, and thus they had to die. Did it matter to the
gunman and his controller that these people were part of the
'anti-terrorist' exercise? Not on your Nellie. They were expendable.

Thus whoever it was that ran the Port Arthur Massacre, and to make it easy
for everybody to understand, I shall call them ASIO, though it could have
been any Federal Government Intelligence Body, had a major catastrophe on
their hands. Not only had things not gone according to plan, but they had
now lost 7 of their operatives.

One of the video-tapes released to the media after Martin Bryant's
sentencing hearing showed a person running down to the bus car-park
outside the Broad Arrow Cafe whilst three men were having a chat on the
verandah. Joe Vialls pointed out that this was a fake video because it
supposedly showed Martin Bryant running towards the buses and that
Bryant's head had been super imposed on the running figure.

On a careful examination of this video-tape we were able to identify the
three men on the verandah, once we realised that they were part of the
exercise. The first to be identified was Hans Overbeeke because of his
white Wellington boots he was wearing. The second to be identified was
Constable Justin Noble of the BCI (Bureau of Criminal Intelligence) that
most corrupt Federal Police Body, and the third man puffing away on his
cigarette was identified by 'shooter's news' as Joe Vialls.

Port Arthur Update
Andrew MacGregor & Wendy Scurr
Andrew MacGregor & Wendy Scurr
Andrew MacGregor
We would like to thank the Inverell Forum for making all this possible by having us here last year, when Wendy and I launched our campaign into the Port Arthur massacre. Wendy has always been fighting for proper and legal treatment for the survivors of the Port Arthur massacre and the constitutional rights of all Australians with regard to that terrible event which occurred almost six years ago. The role of the constabulary has always been to protect and preserve the people within our community. It not about going out and collecting taxes, speed cameras, or using our military might to overpower the legal rights of people. It is obvious that the Tasmanian police were not permitted to fulfil that obligation to the people of the Tasman peninsular and all investigations into the Massacre have been more that just stifled. After making this report I shall be stepping aside. Wendy will still be going and she has another supporter by the name of Gillian McGuire who is extremely competent in her field and has done a magnificent report on Damien Bugg.
What have Wendy and I accomplished since last Inverell Forum? Not heaps, but some extremely important facts have been clarified. Mrs Julie Butler, who approached us at the Forum last year and pointed out that relatives of Mr Russell Pollard had been informed of his death at Port Arthur by a local policeman at approximately 4.30 pm on the Sunday afternoon. How was it possible for a NSW local policeman to travel for over 30 minutes to be able to inform the relatives of the death, before a Tasmanian policeman was recorded as entering the Port Arthur historic site? From this information we were able to determine that constable Gary Whittle did in fact enter the toll booth area of the Port Arthur site at about 2pm and he was the only policeman in the position to inform police headquarters at Hobart of the names of the deceased and their addresses and normal police procedures than took place. We have been continually informed that there were no police communications between Port Arthur and Seascape and police headquarters and the police command post at Taranna. However Whittles ability to pass on details of the death of Pollard and the fact that Whittle even makes the statement that he communicated with police headquarters after talking with Jim Laycock and Yannis Kateros suggests there were adequate radio communications for the local police. Local SES volunteers had been listening to police communications and had heard orders to members of the constabulary at Seascape that they were not to shoot the gunman and suggested that police communications were in fact operating normally. Final evidence that police communications were operating normally was the fact that at a debrief of the event where police communications between police at Seascape and elsewhere was part of that debrief.
We must not forget Sergeant Fogarty who was driving from Belrief police station to Seascape at an average speed of about 125 Kph and was also issuing instructions to police to man roadblocks and other actions. It was an established fact that mobile phones did not operate in the area. The ambulance communications also had numerous black spots in the area but communications were connectable within certain areas such as the boat jetty at Port Arthur or on the town’s local sports oval. It is logical to suggest that the local police would also have experienced similar difficulties, but again the evidence says they did not. We are aware that the police and other emergency bodies had held exercises within this very area in the past few years and would have been alerted to the communications problems and aware of the solution of putting in a mobile relay station. Superintendent Barry Bennett admits to having been in charge of the Police Special Operations Group prior to his promotion to district commander and was well aware of the communication problems.
Through the Inverell Forum we received a copy of a letter from QLD Police Commissioner’s office in relation to new national firearm laws 6 months prior to the Port Arthur massacre. That gave us positive proof that there was a federal government agenda in relation to the new gun laws and some of the bureaucrats and politicians who were involved such as Darryl Smeaton and Duncan Kerr. Then we found positive proof that Martin Bryant was not alone inside Seascape cottage. There were 20 “coughs” placed in the court transcript and credited to police negotiator Terry McCarthy in his conversation with “Jamie” aka Martin Bryant. The coughs on the tape sounds remarkably similar to an SKK. Trained police negotiators do not cough once when they are talking to people. That could mean another person inside the Seascape cottage fired up to 20 shots while Bryant was talking to police. We were able to ascertain that Mrs Sally Martin was alive in the afternoon during the siege at seascape as she was seen by constable Gary Whittle and it is recorded in his debriefing notes. Constable Paul Hyland also saw a naked person and we safely assume that that person was Mrs Sally Martin. If Mrs Martin was still alive during the Port Arthur massacre then who was minding her?
Wendy and I have also been interviewed by mainstream media, the Channel Nine Sunday programme, in relation to our presentation on Port Arthur. We were not the only people interviewed, but it was the list of people who refused to be interviewed that makes the programme interesting. Senior members of the Tasmanian police initially wanted to voice their side of the story but when the time came were not permitted to do so. Ray Groom was not interested, nor I believe, was Damien Bugg. In fact all the Tasmanian politicians requested, declined to put their side to the media.
Another important aspect of the Massacre was the role that ASIO played. I continually refer to the Protective Security Co-ordination Centre (PSCC). We are aware that ASIO is part of the committee that is called (SACPAV), the Standing Advisory Committee for Prevention Against Violence, and it is controlled by PSCC and so there may be some confusion as to exactly who played what roles within the Port Arthur incident. We do know however that the federal Attorney General’s department has stated categorically that there was ASIO involvement within the Port Arthur massacre. The Attorney General’s Upfront magazine made certain statements, which included that the PSCC was involved in the incident very early dealing with requests and advice for assistance. The Defence Force, ASIO and the NSW Police all provided assistance.
What did we have at Port Arthur? We had the Tasmania police, the Tasmania police Special Operations Group, the Victoria police Special Operations Group (six members), the NSW police Special Operations Group, the Australian federal police Anti-terror Squad, ASIO, PSCC, the Australian defence forces helicopter pilots and the SAS. It was a bloody big exercise and much of that had to have been organised prior to the event. Three army helicopter pilots to fly the rescue helicopters on the Sunday. They were there prior to the event. The SAS van arrived at the oval to guide in the helicopters. This van indicates the preparedness, as they could not just have been in the area at the time.
Mr McLeod of Warwick offered to host a meeting for us but was approached by a retired ASIO operative who stated categorically that the Port Arthur gunman was a former SAS soldier. Corroborating information came to me at Bernie in Tasmania. I was questioned about the name of the person responsible for the shooting and I stated that the name David Everett had been given to us from Queensland. The man then informed me of certain aspects of David Everett that fitted the Port Arthur gunman. The man stated he had just moved back from WA where David Everett was notorious for many crimes and was currently in a secure H M prison. This Everett was 34 years of age at the time of the massacre and yet all the witnesses informed us prior to the arrest of Bryant that the gunman was aged between 18 and 25 years of age, so we know that this Everett is not the man. There are many precedents of security forces setting up sting operations and infiltrating legitimate organizations. We must question all aspiring new members and question all new information given, to ensure it is not false information deliberately given to deflect us.
I have mentioned that SES workers and other people had listened to police communications and then certain police were debriefed after the massacre and part of the debriefing was listening to a taped conversation by uniform police with hand held radio outside Seascape cottage to their controller. Pat Allen had the hand radio. The conversation goes like this, “We have the Port Arthur gunman in sight. We have the gunman in sight. Permission to shoot.” “Permission denied.” “We have the Port Arthur gunman in sight! Permission to shoot!” “Permission denied. This must happen.”

I would like to thank Andrew McGregor, without whose help the story would never have gotten out. I don’t know if we will ever do any good or not but I am not going to stop trying because there have been too many people hurt through all this.
I was very surprised at the number of people who gave me support and that has led to me touring. I have been right up to Cairns, into South Australia, but not a lot in NSW. I haven’t been to Darwin or Western Australia. The Inverell Forum was what gave us a chance to get the word out. The people here seemed to believe me and I became very calm after that happened. I felt then that someone else cares about it. Andrew and I have now spoken to over 3000 Australians. Since I last spoke I have received a writ for defamation. It is the mortuary contractor and it looks that I am going to have to go to trial.
We have had two of our venues cancelled. The first was at the Victoria hotel in Melbourne but the meeting went ahead because a very kind doctor offered us his medical centre to use. The other venue closed to us was in Tasmania. All this did was to give us more advertising because it was in the Mercury every day talking about conspiracy theorists and right-wingers who support us. We eventually used the town hall, which was an excellent backdrop for the filming by the nine network.
Mr Bugg of the Department of Public Prosecutions referred throughout the sentencing hearing to a certain door as being locked. During his summing up of the case Justice Cox also stated the door was locked. But on page 17 of the DPP’s own report states that on 30th April a carpenter employed by the Authority was required to paint out the windows of the cafe. He along with a police officer, who was inside the building, examined the lock. The police officer operated the handle inside while the carpenter examined the tongue of the door locking mechanism. The tongue moved slightly but would not retract sufficiently to enable the door to open. I also tried to get out of that door when I attempted to get help. The door handle moved but it would not open. It is a well-known fact that this door was malfunctioning prior to the day of the massacre. Mr Bugg’s 52-page report made two key findings. They are (1) the door was not marked as an exit. It should have been because it was the only one. (2) He was not able to determine that any person was not able to escape through the door. (Why wasn’t this door photographed and examined insitu by a locksmith and kept as evidence? If this lock was functioning these poor unfortunate people and many others would have had time to escape. They wouldn’t have just thrown the guns used at Port Arthur into a shed because they were “important” evidence and were treated as such. The same procedure should have applied to that door. To make matters worse the inside handle of the door was accidentally broken off during demolition. Then Mr Bugg whilst writing his report travelled to Port Arthur to retrieve the door and the lock. He was unable to fit the door in his vehicle so the lock was removed. Mr Bugg then returned to the locksmith with the lock, which he had removed, from the door, minus the handle. Because that handle was missing, the locksmith was only able to identify it as a fire exit lock, but without the handle he was unable to determine the model. Where is this handle? Isn’t removing this lock form the door tampering with evidence? To the transcripts that tell us that people did try that door, but Bugg has denied this in his own report.
This is a transcript of a lady who was on a phone hook-up. I have to keep her name private at this stage but she will give evidence to a coronial enquiry. She said, “If the door would have opened it would have been a different scenario. I would have been out of there. I know I would have got out of there. An amount of people would have got through.” When speaking on the telephone to MR Bugg during his investigation into the matter of the door she made comment saying, “We didn’t have a chance. I meant that one man who was shot across the counter didn’t have a chance then, but we actually had to wait towards the end before those at the door were shot. He cut me off straight away and just took down what he wanted to and didn’t give me a chance to say ‘Look had that have opened those people who were right there at that door, who were shot, would have been out.’ So I am angry over that because I was so traumatised in the back of my mind I let it go. The people at the door were still standing there while he went back into the cafe shooting and then when he came back and shoot down towards the door. It was a different scenario then and I am saying if the door had opened then we would have got out, and I would have been out of that door.” This lady was behind a Hessian screen within touching distance of the people who were shot there. Those five people.
I am now going to read you an extract from a witness police statement. This lady lost her husband behind the door. This is exactly as it is in the police statement. “About one thirty pm Peter and I went to the Souvenir shop which is in the same building as the kiosk. We heard some shots. I heard three really quick bangs and we looked around and I say a man with a gun. He was wearing a khaki green jacket or parker type jacket. The gun he was holding was long. He was holding it out in front of him. The bangs kept going off. It didn’t seem like a machine gun because it wasn’t that quick. I only glanced at him quickly just enough to realise it was someone with a gun. Peter then pushed me and said we have got to get out of here. So we ran around to try to find a was out. We went to a small, enclosed area where there was a glass door. We desperately tried the door, but it was locked. Peter said get down. I crouched down on the ground against the glass door. I put my face into my hands and Peter crouched over me. All this time I could still hear the shots. There didn’t seem to be a break. It just kept on going. I stayed crouched until the shots didn’t sound so close. They were still continuing regularly as they were becoming more distant. But from the time when I first saw the man with the gun to when the shots weren’t so close was no more than a few minutes. I waited until the shots were distant and I knew that I wasn’t hit. I heard Peter making funny noises. I checked him and he was hit on the right side of his face. My hair at the back was matted which may have been his blood. I felt the back of his head and it seemed alright. I saw two other people weren’t moving or making any noise so I presumed they were dead. When I looked at Peter who was unconscious and making gurgling noises there was blood coming out of his nose and mouth. I started screaming and someone said something like “Be quite. He might come back”. I sat up and took my jacket off and I put it on my lap then rested Peter’s head on the jacket to try and stop the blood. I felt he was still alive because he was warm and had a pulse. I tried to give him mouth to mouth but that didn’t seem to do any good because of the injury to his cheek and more blood seemed to come out. I stayed there crying with Peter for about twenty minutes. Somebody came and asked me to go outside. I then said that I didn’t want to leave him if there was a chance he might still be alive. Some first aid people went inside and checked him. They came back out and told me he was dead. I was then taken care of and at one stage I was checked by first aid officers and ambulance officers because of the blood on my shirt which I think was Peter’s.”
As Mr Bugg was commissioned by the Joint Parliamentary Group to write a report, the Bugg Report, to investigate the issues relating to the door, has he not misled Parliament by making the comment that he was not able to determine that anyone tried the door?
Why no coronial enquiry? A coronial enquiry is the only way the many anomalies can be answered. A coronial enquiry into the massacre at Port Arthur was initiated at about 3.55 pm on Sunday 28th April 1996, when the coroner Matterson was informed of the matter and that he was required at police headquarters Hobart for a briefing. It was 7.30 pm before it was considered safe for him to enter. The coroner arrived at the site at 8.05 pm. As no person had been apprehended and charged with any offence he advised the police he would take over the area as a coronial site. At about 8.40 am the following morning on the 29th April, Martin Bryant had come out of Seascape. The police expected charges would be laid. He then advised police that his role as coroner on site would become secondary and he ceased to have control of the scene. In a letter dated the 31st January 1997, from the coroner, to a person who had lost his wife, “As a result of the outcome of the charges preferred against Martin Bryant in the Supreme Court of Tasmania I write to advise I do not intend to resume the inquest that I opened on the 29th April 1996. I believe it is not in the interests of family, friends or witnesses to again traverse the factual situation in a public hearing, particularly when any finding I make must not be inconsistent with the decision of the Supreme Court. I have today written to the Attorney General advising of my decision. May I take this opportunity on behalf of the staff of my office to extend our condolences for your sad loss?
Several talk to me of a Royal Commission. We must not have a Royal Commission in the first instance as the government get to set the terms of reference. The door situation should have been enough on its own to have instigated a coronial enquiry.
It would appear that Mr Groom had complete control of everything related to the Port Arthur massacre with the complete support of Parliament.
Some young girls were asked to go back into the Broad arrow cafe to work 2 hour a day after the massacre!

All despotism is bad, but the lowest form is that which works with the machinery of freedom.
There is a great urgency to have every high level bureaucrat, politician and person in authority who had even the slightest brush with that which drove the events encapsulating Port Arthur be made defend their own actions and statements regarding this dreadful event before an open public enquiry. I met with my newly elected member for Riverina. Initially I was encouraged by her interest in concerns I raised about the Port Arthur massacre. Her change in demeanour was dramatic. Within a very short time I received a letter from her electoral office and I was told emphatically and in embolden capitals, the member will not enter into any dialogue with you either written or verbal in the future. I was informed that any communication on any matter would be futile. The situation has not changed. That galvanised me into doing all in my power to uncover and publish whatever it was that petrifies politicians, sparks vitriol and scoffing from more than a few media editors, even from areas we may once have regarded as our friends, when the words Port Arthur massacre are uttered.
My area of interest in the Port Arthur massacre is in firearms and ammunition allegedly used there. My fulltime research over the last two years has led me to conclude the two principle firearms claimed by the DPP as weapons used to murder the 32 people and wound 21 others were never used to that end at the Broad Arrow cafe or indeed any of the other crime scenes. Let us look at the DPP’s two primary firearms. The first is a Colt AR15 it is an SP1 carbine in 223 Remington calibre. The word carbine only appears twice in the court documents and the correct model of this firearm only appears once in the wound ballistic review document released in America and not intended for Australian eyes. The other weapon, FN FAL G series, is probably better known to you as the Australian SLR or L1A1, but it is very different. Somehow they rebuilt the one that was supposedly used and I find that quite impossible. It is made in the metric pattern whereas the Australian one is made in the inch pattern. Even the magazine will not interchange. Both primary weapons were self-loading. I found a whole raft of anomalies in relation to Port Arthur from a prolific author from Western Australia.
Martin Bryant exhibited no confusion whatsoever in identifying the firearms he had purchased, owned, used and taken with him to the Tasman Peninsular that day. Only police interrogators exhibited and admitted confusion.
There is not one shred of evidence that I have found that can positively link either of the DPP primary firearms entered into the court documents with any of those shooting murders. Inconclusive physical examination only was employed and that quote, “No chemical tests were carried out and were not planned because of cost considerations and time considerations.” One person is murdered and they do these chemical tests. Thirty-five people are murdered and they ignored them.
In my book ("A Gunsmith's Notebook on Port Arthur") I explain and destroy each of the scenarios put forward by Gerard Dutton, ballistics officer for the Tasmanian police and I go much further as to the reasons for the severely damaged state of both primary weapons.
This has been proven to be FALSE. Apart from the fact the man's clothes do not match Bryant's on the day and people are standing in the cafe doorway area watching, staff witnesses who were at the site that day know this man to be another staff member carrying blankets to the coach where wounded people lay. Also as the shots are heard seagulls nearby are sitting there unaffected by the noise of an alleged high powered rifle.
The Doppleganger
Many people will wonder where were the local police at Port Arthur when the shooting started ?
Answer - they had been lured away from the area.
One hour before the massacre commenced, the only two policemen on the Tasmanian Peninsula were decoyed to a remote location at Saltwater River (9) by anonymous caller reporting a big stash of heroin.

(9) On Map: Saltwater River
(12) On Map: Port Arthur Historical Site
There was no heroin, and four minutes after the two policemen reported their arrival at Saltwater(9) by radio, the shooting started in the Broad Arrow Cafe(12) mass murder lasted only 17 minutes from start to finish. ( Above passage by Joe Vialls ).
The "heroin" turned out to be soap powder in glass bottles.
Was this anonymous caller linked to the gunman at Port Arthur and designed to send local police away to the furthest point on the pennisula at the time the shooting was planned to start ?
If so how could Martin Bryant have done this ? Did he have a police radio so he could know when the local police had arrived at their destination ? Was he that clever and cunning ? If so why was there no police radio or scanner found ?
Given Martin Bryant was later assessed by psychiatrists as being in the lowest 2 percent of the population in terms of intellect how and when did this flash of brillance occurr ?

With over 20yrs as a police officer in Queensland I can categorically say this is the most disgusting & disgraceful travesty of justice I have ever encountered in my entire life. This is blatantly a false flag operation which was purely & simply to disarm the Australian public. The whole timeline from the Tavistock Institute psychiatrists involvement to the manner in which Martin was treated by the legal system is unbelievable. My heart goes out to poor Martin who has just been used as a patsy!!
A video questioning the Australian government's official conclusions with regard to Martin Bryant's involvement in the Port Arthur massacre / shooting at the Port Arthur Historic Site in Tasmania on 26 April 1996 and related events.
