For the 10th Anniversary of the Port Arthur Massacre SN has decided it is fitting to put up a brief summary of the what we have reason to believe really occurred that day:-
The planning for the Port Arthur massacre had been in full swing as of mid 1995 and partially culminated in shooters groups being softened up in Novermber 1995 when firearm proposals were announced. These proposals eminated from the Federal Justice Department in Canberra and it should be remembered the Australian Labor Party were the Government at that time.
In the days and weeks prior to 28 April 1996 Martin Bryant had been recruited by the small handful Tasmania Police in the know about the planned massacre to help them with what he was told was a mock operation ( this followed his failure to pass firearms proficiency tests ) and was given the script for the Sunday and had photos taken on Friday 25 April ( the photos that would appear later ). Bryant had been told to buy 2 Prince sports bags and did so that day. Communications equipment was requistioned from a governemnt installation in Victoria and taken to Tasman Pennisula.
Sunday 28 April 1996
The Seascape Cottage Guesthouse had been carefully booked out by people assisting with the massacre and resulted in it being taken over that morning - with its owner David Martin being shot and killed by one of 2 men who had arrived at the Cottage - one was the actual Port Arthur gunman ( a 20 year old who had been specially trained ) and another was former Tasmanian Police scumbag named "Rick" whose identity is known to this website. That murder occurred at around 10.40am when witnesses nearby heard 2 muffled shots coming from the Cottage. His wife Sally Martin was stripped tied up and gagged. Shortly afterwards outside they tested the rifles to be used in the massacre and witnesses in the area heard rapid fire shots at around 11am.
See Witness Statement
On the Sunday morning Martin Bryant after telling his girlfriend Petra he had something to do headed down to Port Arthur and was at the Midway Point Newsagent at 11am and made other stops along the way. He then apparently drove past Seascape past Port Arthur to call in and see Roger Larner then headed back to Seascape where he had been told to meet the others. He hands over the sports bags and various other items. A bloodstained knife with David Martin's blood is also included by the other men.
The Port Arthur gunman then took Bryant's yellow Volvo and headed off towards Port Arthur Historic Site wearing a long blond wig mainly to conceal communication equipment and his ears and face
see webpage. The gunman was high on drugs.
Arriving at the Historic Site the he made his way to the harbour edge as his target was the ferry Bundeena and the 200 tourists booked on it. The plan was to board it and shoot it up and set fire to it in the deepest harbour in Australia. He had problems with the parking officer and had to move. At some point he realized the ferry had just offloaded the tourists and he sat in the Volvo taking instructions via radio from his accomplaces who were in the area. Panic set in - they had missed the boat because the timetable had changed without them knowing. The gunman was then directed to target the Cafe where a lot of tourists from the boat had headed. He takes to the Cafe a very long - 1.6 metre long green and orange Prince sports bage containing 3 guns - a Colt CAR .223, an Armalite AR-10 .308 painted camo colour and a Daewoo 12 guage shotgun & their ammo and Martin Bryants blue Prince sports bag - and also carries separately Martin Bryants video camera.
The gunman was specifically after foreign tourists and what appeared to be to people sitting on the cafe decking was his mumbling to himself was in fact him communicating the fact the back to base there were few Japs etc.. arounds. At about 1.25pm he then enters the Cafe.
The Site is also full of people sent down there to either observe or assist the massacre.
Only some were in know of what was coming. There was even another yellow Volvo which drived around confusing witnesses.
In the Cafe the gunman goes to a table in quiet area placing the video camera on it and opens his long green sports pulls out the Colt AR-15 and then starts firing. A scumbag who was there and in the know about the massacre and hadnt been told of the change of plan shouted at him "No no not here " just before being shot dead. A NSW cop who was there outside the Cafe and happened to be holding a communications device directs people outside to safety. At some point he fires the Daewoo shotgun. He then pulls out the Armalite AR-10 and keeps firing for about 5 minutes. Just prior to leaving he removed Martin Bryant's blue Prince sports bag from inside the green sports bag and walks casually back to the Volvo and shoots at the bus and people around the area. The Jewish cameraman James Balasko films the gunman.at the waters edge ( just as the Jewish cameraman Abraham Zapruder filmed the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963 ).
On the way out the Site the gunman is told via radio to stop and target some children to which he shoots the Mikacs.
He then stops at the toll booth and leaves Bryants car and personal effects there ( including amazingly the keys to Seascape ) - shoots up some more people - stealing a brown BMW. He is then told to take a hostage at the service station and grabs Glen Pears after shooting his girlfriend and puts him into the boot.
At this point the store owner across the road tried to get out is rifle to shoot him but couldnt get at the ammo for it because he had to have it locked up.
See Witness Statement
The gunman then speeds to Seascape and is told to shoot at cars on the road, particularly a car containing Canadian consultate official whom they were monitoring his movements and whom had been told to go down there by his own Government ( from Minister Alan Rock's office ). Next to Seascape was dark vehicle along with 2 uniformed Tasmanian Police hiding in the bushes nearby who may have set fire to the BMW which Pears was still inside. Shortly thereafter the dark vehicle speeds off.
During the whole massacre Martin Bryant remains at Seascape unaware of what had happened at Port Arthur Historic Site, and that he is about to be set up.

Also at that day Martin Bryant's house had been entered by persons involved with the massacre and firearms and ammunition hidden in a piano inside and other related items left lying about.
Shortly after local Tasmanian Police who were not in on the massacre arrived at Seascape to be fired upon and they saw Sally Martin run outside naked after somehow freeing herself
see webpage
. She was then grabbed by those inside and bashed in the head with rifle butt. Martin Bryant later as part of his seige script was to get on the phone with a police negotiator. Meanwhile the other 2 people with him put on the seige show firing at police throughout the night from various Seascape buildings and using an infra red night scope. More than one person moving around in Seascape is noted by police outside.

Sometime in the early hours morning before dawn Martin Bryant was drugged and a fuel incendury device was set to burn the Cottage at around 8am the next morning. In the darkness the 2 who had put on the seige shootout slipped out of Seascape to a house on a nearby inlet. When the fire took hold the heat woke Bryant from his drugged state and he staggered on fire from the burning building.
At the Historic Site a 22 body morgue truck specially got for the massacre collects the bodies of the dead
See Webpage. Evidence is tampered with during the night ( including an FN SLR .308 rifle being substituted for the AR-10 and left at Seascape in a broken condition ).
The media frenzy started and was assisted by 700 media delegates at a Pacific Area Media Conference that has been prearranged to occurr that very weekend in Hobart.
See Webpage
That evening the gun control lobby were briefed. Hobart hospital was well prepared having just finished at 2pm a seminar of surgeons on how to handle a terrorist attack.
35 people dead. 22 Injured. Hundreds terrorized. A nation in shock. Tasmanian Government debt free*.
And poor half burnt Martin Bryant left to take the blame.
And an unsuspecting uninformed John Winston Howard PM trapped like a rat in a barrel.
Nevertheless all this website can say is the fact that nothing has been done to bring all these criminals to justice is a national disgrace given that most Federal politicans know all about what went on down there. Rather than the same Federal politicans putting on this enormous act of attending a memmorial service - the same politcians who talk big on dealing with terrorism - this website DEMANDS action to be taken against those involved and serverely punish the Terrorist Government of Tasmania for this incident along with those overseas also involved - and this is especially justified given that most of those killed and injured were from other Australian States and they have an obligation under the Constitution to protect.
Events like Port Arthur do not occurr unless big fish overseas are behind these types of incidents because the Tasmanian Government would not have thought this one up themselves and voluntarily done it. Someone else was pulling the strings. It is because of these big fish nothing in fact has been done about this incident.
* For those wanting to know who are these big fish we refer you to what Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post were advised to do by their deep background informant when investigating the Watergate break-in in 1972 -............. to follow the money trail.
