In response to Mary Maxwell’s Australia Day 2023 article on Martin Bryant’s continuing incarceration, and knowing that some people still believe, or pretend to believe, that Bryant was guilty, I gathered these questions. Anyone who wishes to provide answers, please contact me at MalcolmHughes @ Bigpond.com

Questions for Those That Still Believe Martin Bryant Was the 1996 Shooter at Port Arthur:

How did Barry Unsworth come to make the prediction in December 1987 that, “there would never be uniform gun laws, until there had been a massacre in Tasmania? Why Tasmania?

Why did Ray Groom change from a ministerial position in Federal Parliament to take up a Tasmanian Parliamentary career about the time of the above statement by Unsworth?

Why did Ray Groom step down as Premier of Tasmania early in 1996, but still retain ministerial portfolios concerning the up-coming massacre?

Why did his replacement Premier Tony Rundle take a trip during this busy change-over time, to Dunblane, Scotland? (See Notes below.)

Why did the Tasmania Government buy the Broad Arrow Cafe when all governments, State & Federal were privatising all other ventures?

Why did the Tasmanian Government ask a Hobart funeral business to tender for a 22 berth freezer mortuary truck in the 12 months before the massacre? No other state had such a vehicle. Why after the massacre was there an attempt to sell this truck?

Why was this vehicle seen to leave Tasmania on a Military vehicle mover?

Why did the same funeral business buy mortuary boxes to handle the corpses in excess of 22, from a Victorian company in time for the massacre?

How is it that Police Commissioner Richard McCreadie had Martin Bryant’s file before the gunman had been identified as “Martin Bryant”?

Why were police in numbers, not sent to Port Arthur immediately the massacre was reported? Port Arthur is 1 hour, by road from Hobart, yet only one on-duty police officer arrived at the scene by 4:30 pm. (The massacre had occurred around 1:30pm)

Who organised to keep police members from Port Arthur for over 3.5 hours? Was this also Commissioner Richard McCreadie?

The gunman was never reported as wearing gloves, so why did the police never recover DNA or fingerprints from his eating tray, utensils, drink container, rifles or magazines said to have been used for the massacre? This sort of evidence is always the first evidence sought when a crime has taken place. This proves that the police knew that the killer was not Bryant. If they recovered this type of evidence the whole deceitful plot would have come apart.

Why did the police leave the window down of the abandoned Volvo overnight so that dew would dissipate fingerprints from the steering wheel?

Why did the gunman need to take the BMW to Seascape when he already had transport via the Volvo? Was it because there was equipment and false evidence in the BMW that had to be delivered to Seascape?

Why was the BMW set on fire, at Seascape? Was it set by a SOG officer?

Why did the gunman need to take Glen Pears as a hostage during the carjacking of the BMW?

Why did the Victorian bank manager, Anthony Nightingale, stand up and say, “No not here, not here” when the shooting started in the Broad Arrow Cafe, after which he was immediately killed?

Why didn’t John Avery present Witness Statements (see Notes below) or any other evidence favourable to Bryant, to the court?

Why was Roger Larner’s Witness Statement in which he proves beyond doubt that Martin Bryant could not have been at Port Arthur at the time that shootings began, taken into account?

How did Police Commissioner Fielding know that there were no live hostages in Seascape, on Monday morning, if he did not have radio contact with the people inside Seascape?

Why was Carleen Bryant, who was escorted to Police Headquarters by police, not asked to identify the telephone caller’s voice from Seascape as being that of her son Martin?

If the caller was Bryant, why was she not asked to convince Martin to give himself up?

Why did Sergeant Dutton falsify evidence about the weapons supposedly used?

Why did Sergeant Dutton have a questioner threatened with arrest and escorted from a “Port Arthur Massacre” meeting held in Queensland?

Why, when a sniper at Seascape requested to take out a gunman firing at helicopters, was he told, “Negative, this has to happen, this has to happen”? (This was overheard by emergency workers on their radio.)

Why did Damien Bugg, the Public Prosecutor, write to Wendy Scurr and other important witnesses before Bryant’s appearance, stating that they would not be required to give evidence?

Why was the Tasmanian Government able to confiscate Martin’s assets (approx. $1 million) so that he was unable to fund his own defence team? (Legislation to this effect was passed after Bryant “pleaded guilty”.)

Why was John Avery, illegally chosen as Byrant’s defence lawyer, even though he had represented the D.P.P. against a witness in the same criminal case?

Why were military helicopters heard overhead most of the April 28-29 night? They were not civilian or police helicopters, as it was not legal for them, at that time in Tasmania, to fly after sunset?

Why were Wendy Scurr and her husband, Graeme persecuted by Tasmanian Police such that they had to eventually leave Tasmania?

Why did the Australian Federal Police attempt to attack my computer three times with viruses and then crash it twice after I had made attempts to contact the then Governor General, Michael Jeffrey, in regard to my information from civilian investigators on the subject of the Massacre?

Why was Damien Bugg rewarded with the position of Commonwealth Public Prosecutor then given permission to operate from Hobart not Canberra?

Why was Justice William Cox rewarded with the appointment of Governor of Tasmania? (He was the first Tasmanian-born to be given that position.)

Why is it that after Benjamin Overbeeke, was named the gunman on the internet, he supposedly committed suicide? (I have heard that his father, who was also at Port Arthur, has stated that he did not suicide, but died in an accident? Set up by whom?

Why was Federal legislation on gun control drawn up prior to the Massacre?

How is it that a rifle handed in during a previous amnesty, was one of the weapons supposedly used in this massacre? (Bryant could never have got his hands on such a weapon, but police could.)

Why did John Howard lie to me personally, saying that the Port Arthur Massacre was out of the Commonwealth’s jurisdiction, even though he had already declared (illegally) that there would be no enquiry and that the Broad Arrow Cafe was to be destroyed?

If the official story is true, why did Justice Cox have all official records locked away, initially for 30 years, but later extended to 45 years? What do the authorities have to hide?

Notes

Graham Collyer who was shot in the neck, but survived, reports in his Witness Statement “that the killer had a pock-marked or acne face”, but it is known that Martin Bryant had a smooth complexion.

James Laycock, who had known Bryant for years, stated in his Witness Statement that “he did not recognise the gunman as Martin Bryant”.

Bryant left Mr Larner’s side at 1:15 pm at the earliest, yet he is supposed to have driven 3 kilometres, arrived at Port Arthur in time to stop to help two young women start their car and sell them some drugs, pay parking fees, park his car, carry rifles and video camera to the Broad Arrow Cafe, stand in a queue to order a meal, walk to the verandah, then be seated and eat that meal, to then start firing a weapon at 1:27 pm. Absolutely impossible in that time frame!

The reason for Tony Rundle’s trip? It appears to me that the only connection between Tasmania and Dunblane, is the already executed school massacre and the planned massacre at Port Arthur.

Seven of the dead have been named as intelligence agents. Two were killed in the Broad Arrow Cafe and five at the scene where the killer exchanged the Volvo for the BMW, after he had killed all five.

The bank manager, Anthony Nightingale, mentioned above, knew that the killings were planned to take part at the jetty. However, the organisers did not take into account that daylight saving adjustment took place during the previous night. This changed the time of the cruise boat departure.

When I reported the computer crimes, with evidence, to Mick Keelty of the A.F.P. and to the Australian Crime Commission, I received no answers.

Four of the people involved in devious action during this time of Tasmania’s sorry history, Ray Groom, Damien Bugg, Justice William Cox and Police Commissioner Richard McCreadie were all honored by becoming members of the Order of Australia. John Avery missed out — he did prison time for stealing funds from a client.

The BMW was probably set ablaze at Seascape to erase all evidence that Martin Bryant had not been in that vehicle. Had it not been burnt and had it undergone forensic testing, the real gunman would have been revealed.

Do you still believe that Martin Bryant is guilty of mass murder? If you do, I pity you, as I do Martin Bryant!

This is a crime of massive proportions, organised by both Federal & State of Tasmania Governments and the Intelligence Agencies of Australia against the population of Australia.

That is TREASON!
