When did the Port Arthur Massacre occur in Australia?

Answer 1

The Port Arthur massacre took place on 28 April 1996. It was a killing spree which claimed 35 lives and 37 wounded at the historic Port Arthur prison colony, a popular tourist site in south-eastern Tasmania, Australia. Martin Bryant, a 28-year-old from New Town, eventually pleaded guilty to the crime and was given a life sentence without possibility of parole in Risdon Prison.

At least two conspiracy theories about the massacre have been promoted. The theories suggest that Bryant was not the shooter, or that the Government of Australia ordered secret agents to conduct the massacre.

The most prominent advocate of these conspiracy theories was the late Joe Vialls, who asserted that Bryant was framed by one or more people who were actually the shooters. A range of theories were posed by some opponents of gun control, suggesting that the gun control lobby staged the massacre in order to gain public support for gun control laws. For example, the militia organisation Australian Freedom Scouts argued that Bryant did not have the requisite weapons proficiency to carry out the massacre.One theory compared the massacre with the assassination of President of the United States John F. Kennedy.

These alternative theories have generally been dismissed as without foundation by the mainstream media and the authorities. The Government of Tasmania, the Tasmania Police, the prosecutor Damian Bugg and Bryant's own defence lawyer John Avery have all dismissed the suggestion that Bryant was not acting alone, saying that the evidence simply does not support any of the conclusions reached by the theorists.

In 2001, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson caused controversy when she claimed that the Commonwealth had ruled out "a full investigation" when "a lot of people are asking questions" about Port Arthur. The Sporting Shooters' Association of Australia has also refuted all conspiracy theories surrounding the massacre, stating that like most mainstream Australians, they regarded the claims as "ludicrous". They urged One Nation to change their position or risk being seen as influenced by extreme elements within the community.
