The Doctored Video On Channel 9 --------------

Details That Point to a Coverup At Port Arthur ----------------------------- Email: editor@shootersnews.addr.com


After the trial of Martin Bryant RAY MARTIN ( left ) compere on the Channel 9 TV Network in his "A Current Affair" program screened nationally a video clip allegedly taken by a witness at Port Arthur that day. The tape reportedly came from the Tasmanian DPP and had been presented to the Court at the trial.

The video showed a man running from the Broad Arrow Cafe carrying something. The video was shot from a fair distance away ( hundred or more metres ) so the resolution was low. Gunshots were on the taped sound track.

It was proported by the program this was Martin Bryant - the gunman at Port Arthur - running from the Cafe to his car shooting ( immediately after the massacre in the Cafe ). A frame from the video below.

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 MOST SERIOUS THING ABOUT THIS TAPE IS THAT SOMEONE HAS ADDED THE GUNSHOT SOUNDTRACK TAKEN FROM ANOTHER VIDEO THAT WAS FILMED ON THE DAY. Such an addition makes this a fabrication of evidence.

Andrew MacGregor on the CD-ROM has this video included and an extensive commentary.

Who fabricated this video tape adding the gunshot soundtrack ? Was it someone at Channel 9 under Ray Martin's direction or was it the Tasmanian DPP or the Tasmanian Police ?

If so why would they want or need to do so if Martin Bryant really did the shootings ? Why the gross deception ?

Was it to try and reinforce to the Australian public on this high rating national TV program that the official line that Bryant was the gunman ? ( The fact Ray Martin had persistently ran an anti-gun line on his program for years prior to this time raises the question of the extent of his involvement in this and other videos played on his program relating to this incident ). Is this another piece of evidence in a series of things designed to frame Martin Bryant for the Port Arthur incident ? The evidence seems to indicate such. Videos do not alter themselves.
