 Port Arthur Mass Murder Said Proved UN-Backed Psy-Op
In the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre, government went to great lengths to ignore or suppress all evidence suggesting that the official story of the day was unsubstantiated rubbish.
Many months after the massacre took place, but only hours before the Tasmanian judge was due to make a decision that would effect Martin Bryant for the rest of his life, an Australian TV network suddenly presented the public (and of course the judge) with dramatic amateur video footage shown "for the first time ever".
They were also very discreet the day after the massacre, when the world's tabloid media descended on Port Arthur like a pack of ravenous dogs, snapping and growling for any picture they could get hold of in order to meet their respective deadlines in London and New York.

 Port Arthur Massacre - Government and Media Lies Exposed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In this series of reports the author has continually claimed that military science proves intellectually-impaired Martin Bryant was incapable of conducting the incredibly efficient massacre at Port Arthur, though some details of military science are classified and have not been released to the public.
The Colt AR15 allegedly used in the massacre was fitted with a wide-angle telescopic sight designed for the Armalite AR180, mounted on the AR15 so crudely that it completely obscured the "iron" sights on top of the weapon.
A side issue that has raised its head from time to time since the author started writing reports on Port Arthur, is that Martin Bryant was taking the anti-depressant drug "Prozac", which in some magical way managed to convert him from an intellectually-impaired invalid into the crack-shot equivalent of a US Navy SEAL.

 PM - Profile of mass shooting murderers
After the Port Arthur massacre there was a comment made that Martin Bryant suffered schizophrenia, which maligned every person in this nation that suffers schizophrenia.
One was the Strathfield massacre and the other was the killing of the two Police Officers at Crescent Head and in neither of those did I think the person had a mental illness.
The other one was much into guns and automatic weapons and playing soldiers on some bit of land he had, so I suppose in a way he showed those sorts of tendencies earlier but the first one showed none and, in fact, was seeing a psychologist in the weeks leading up to the event.
