Martin Bryant has been incarcerated in Risdon Prison in Tasmania for three decades for crimes it is almost impossible for him to have committed. And yet even critical thinkers say ” we may never know” , or, “we need more evidence”. There is ample evidence pointing to a massive cover-up as to the nature of what was a well planned strategic operation at four sites on the one day with multiple actors and agents. There was very controlled media coverage, judicial and police corruption and highest level government involvement. Martin Bryant took 5- 6 months, mostly in solitary confinement, before he confessed under duress to crimes. There was no trial. The Coroner refused to continue investigation because he may have conflicted with the Supreme Court finding.
” When the Port Arthur massacre took place in April of 1996, every person in Australia learned that it was done by a lone gunman named Martin Bryant. Well, no, it was not and could not possibly have been done by this gentle-natured person with a low IQ. In fact, the killing, which was spread over four locations, could not even have been accomplished by a lone genius. It was part of a very well planned effort by persons who would be in a position immediately after the event to control the police, the hospital, the media, and the law courts. “
Port Arthur Massacre 1996 800 witness statements and only two positively identified Martin Bryant which were submitted after Bryants face had been all over the media. Witnesses Jim Laycock, Graham Colliyer & Peter Crosswell all said the shooter was not Martin Bryant.
Many people associated with and others not involved at Port Arthur are calling to re-open the Coronial Inquiry that was cut short when the Supreme Court accepted a guilty plea from alleged shooter and intellectually-disabled, 29 year old Martin Bryant who now languishes in Risdon jail in Tasmania.
Tasmanian Coroner at the time, Ian Matheson, in a letter to a family member of a shooting victim said he would discontinue the Coronial Inquest because his findings, based on the evidence before him, would go against the Supreme Court verdict after Bryant was coerced into pleading guilty.

Martin is still locked away for a gun crime it is difficult to conceive he had the shooting skills to commit. There was no direct evidence to link him. Everything was contrived.
13 Questions Surrounding the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre How did Martin Bryant, a man with the IQ of a 9-year-old, manage to kill 20 people in 90 seconds while blindly shooting from the hip? Have we really been told the truth about this day?
Who is this man in military gear leaving the Broad Arrow Cafe – site of the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996?
A Gunsmith’s Notebook on Port Arthur chapter 26 This chapter exposes the Overbeekes’ involvement in the Port Arthur Massacre. Hans and Ben were accomplices and Warren the shooter at BA Cafe.

The wealthy countries continue to focus on subsidizing intermittent electricity from breezes and sunshine while simultaneously shuttering coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants that have been providing continuous uninterruptible electricity. The Trojan Horse results are extreme costs, painful reductions in living standards for all but the richest, national weakness, and societal instability.
Net Zero – a Trojan Horse for Nuclear Power
Global ‘Green Energy’ policies toward Net Zero focus on reducing and eliminating so-called ‘fossil fuels’ while subsidizing ‘renewables such as wind and solar power.
Policy makers are aware that wind and solar rely on baseload back-up of fossil fuels. Without fossil fuels, the push is for nuclear power as the only viable and reliable baseload power.
On the other hand, China and India are expanding coal power production.
Is nuclear your preferred baseload power in the future?
Gone are the days of the Greens ‘Solar Not Nuclear’ mantra – always a false, and unworkable option.
Coal, oil, and gas have provided stable, reliable, and cheap energy, but are now demonized as polluting and responsible for a large part of man-made ‘climate change’. However anthropogenic climate change is not the main driver. Natural cycles have shown that temperature and climate variation has been most significant prior to the industrial revolution.
Nuclear power on the other hand is being re-branded as ‘clean and green’, and with ‘newer technologies’, as ‘safe’.
Apparently the incidents of Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island and the Ukraine Nuclear facility threats are not to be considered as relevant. Waste disposal is rarely discussed.
Whole/cycle cost benefit analyses of nuclear power, taking in energy inputs and financial outputs, need to be done and considered by truly independent experts with no conflicts of interests.
Transitioning from Fossil Fuels to Nuclear Power is an ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’ scenario that is being driven by the ultra-wealthy elites’ obsession with centralising control of every aspect of our lives including energy production. A false climate change apocalypse narrative is the driver towards both Net Zero and the ‘Nuclear Solution’.
Coal, oil and gas are the backbone of our energy production. What is assumed in this documentary is that ” as we close down our fossil fuel plants we should be looking at a mix of new technologies” (unstated: predominantly nuclear). Advance Australia, who authorised this video, are very pro-nuclear. which is neither economical, or environment friendly. Yes, there is danger in being led down the renewables cul-de-sac at breakneck speed, We are not committing to further coal, oil and gas power development, unlike China and India. We are being sold Kool-Aid that ‘Fossil fuels’ must be phased out to ‘combat climate change.’ We are faced with the constant propaganda of nuclear being the ‘base-load power future. Be aware of the hidden messages: ‘Renewables’ Bad; Coal, Oil and Gas Bad; Nuclear good
On Friday just prior to high-level meetings among Western security officials and Ukrainian leadership commencing in Munich, including US Vice President J.D. Vance and Zelensky, there was a dangerous incident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine’s Kyiv oblast.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky accused Russia of launching a drone equipped with a high-explosive warhead at the historic, defunct power plant, site of the April 1986 nuclear disaster and meltdown. The drone reportedly hit the protective containment shell of the Chernobyl plant.
BBC writes that “The shield is designed to prevent further radioactive material leaking out over the next century. It measures 275m (900ft) wide and 108m (354ft) tall and cost $1.6bn (£1.3bn) to construct.”
And WaPo details further of the looming potential dangers:
In 2019, construction was completed on the New Safe Confinement — a $1.7 billion arch-shaped steel structure, which would contain the destroyed reactor. The site still contained some “200 tons of highly radioactive material,” according to the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development, which helped finance the project.
Thus the situation is deeply alarming given the potential for a new radiation leak at the site which could impact the region, or even Europe. An IAEA team on the ground said it heard an explosion at around 01:50 local time coming from the New Safe Confinement (NSC) shelter. Photos showed flames at the top of the huge structure.
Officer Lew, a prominent political commentator, highlighted the NRC’s event report during a review of regulatory alerts.
“While looking at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Alerts. I can confirm that there is radioactive material that has gone missing on Dec 2nd, 2024 out of New Jersey. This might be the reason for the drones… just speculation at this point,” he wrote.
The missing material, identified as a Ge-68 pin source manufactured by Eckert & Ziegler, was reported lost by its licensee on December 3, 2024. Shipped for disposal, the container arrived at its destination severely damaged and empty.
The item, called a “pin source,” contains a small amount of the radioactive isotope Germanium-68, which is used to calibrate the accuracy of PET scanners.
Here is a 68-mminute documentary that goes through all the costs of electricity generation in Australia to explain why Australian power bills have gone up so much and will continue to do so.
Their failure to be adopted freely by investors and consumers lies in the pathetic energy density of solar panels and wind turbines.
Energy density is defined as the amount of energy stored in a given unit of mass or volume — a metric that is critical in determining the viability of energy sources.
It is typically measured in joules per kilogram (J/kg) for mass, or joules per cubic meter (J/m³) for volume. Often, the expression is in millions of joules, or megajoules (MJ).
Wood, which was widely used before the introduction of coal, has an energy density of just 16 MJ/kg.
Society’s ready adoption of fossil fuels stems from their significantly higher concentrations of energy:
Coal’s is approximately 24 MJ/kg;
oil, 45 MJ/kg; and
natural gas, 55 MJ/kg.
In an entirely different league, nuclear fuel, depending on the type, has an energy density of about four million MJ/kg and will certainly be used extensively as society progresses throughout the 21st century and into the next.
The federal opposition says it plans to build seven nuclear reactors across Australia, in an announcement on June 19.
The Liberal-National Coalition revealed that current, retiring coal-fired power stations would be repurposed for nuclear facilities.
They include Loy Yang Power Station in Victoria’s Gippsland area, Callide and Tarong in Queensland, Port Augusta in South Australia, Collie in West Australia, as well as Mount Piper in Lithgow and Liddell in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.
The Coalition was unable to provide a detailed cost analysis of the project with Mr. Dutton saying it would “cost a fraction” of the government’s net zero policy, which is slated to exceed $1 trillion ($US667 billion), including the building of new transmission infrastructure, wind turbines, solar panels, and battery storage.
“Climate change is the existential threat!” warns Bernie Sanders and others. But if he really believed that, he should support nuclear — the only technology that has a track record of rapidly replacing fossil fuels
Households face an estimated bill of £2,300 each to shut down Britain’s gas grid as part of the Government’s drive towards Net Zero, a leaked draft of an official report suggests.
The cost of decommissioning the grid could reach a total of £65 billion, according to a draft National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) report.
It is the first time a public body has examined the future of the 176,000-mile network of buried pipes, which serves eight in ten homes but risks becoming obsolete under plans to reach Net Zero carbon emissions.
– Consumers pay the wholesale price, plus a network cost (including congestion costs), plus a balancing cost, plus a subsidy cost, plus the retailer/supplier operating costs, plus some profits for everyone in the chain from the generator to the network owner to the network operator to the retailer. And then some taxes on top. – And to hit net zero the whole electrical system – expanded renewables, expanded grid, backup fossil, balancing, subsidies, curtailment payments and all – will have to be expanded to multiple times its current size, as fossil fuels used directly in such things as heating and transport are replaced with electricity. – Anyone who thinks all this is going to mean cheaper energy is dreaming.
As the war for Australia’s energy future heats up, Gina Rinehart has come out strongly in favour of a nuclear future. Writing in the leading article of the Spectator Australia this week, Rinehart says, ‘It’s time to realise we need nuclear power in this country. Instead of punishing many farmers with bird-killing wind generators and massive solar panel stretches, we need to urgently allow clean, safe, nuclear energy for the well-being of this nation.’

NANO Nuclear’s products in technical development are “ZEUS”, a solid core battery reactor, and “ODIN”, a low-pressure coolant reactor, each of which represent advanced developments in portable, on-demand capable, advanced nuclear micro reactors.
With Germany scouring the world for supplies of oil and gas and firing up dormant coal power stations, one of its most distinguished atmospheric scientists, Professor Hermann Harde, has castigated politicians for reacting to increasingly shrill climate horror stories and “believing they can save the world”. Many of the research studies and “horror scenarios” are not based on a secure physical foundation, he says, “but rather represent computer games that reflect what was fed in”. The idea that humans can control the climate with their CO2 emissions is said to be an “absolute delusion”.
Sweden’s parliament on Tuesday (20 June) adopted a new energy target, giving the right-wing government the green light to push forward with plans to build new nuclear plants in a country that voted 40 years ago to phase out atomic power. Changing the target to “100% fossil-free” electricity, from “100% renewable” is key to the government’s plan to […] reach net zero emissions by 2045.
Prominent Oxford physicist Professor Wade Allison has called for society to urgently reassess the risks and benefits of nuclear energy.
In a note published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Professor Allison (University of Oxford) says that because of the weaknesses of solar and wind power, nuclear is the only energy technology that can offer society a positive future.
Entrepreneur Dick Smith says renewables are “too intermittent” to run a whole country on them.
“Look there’s a claim at the moment which is made by the CSIRO here and AEMO, the Australian Energy Market Operator,” Mr Smith told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“They say that renewables, they say that wind and solar with storage, is cheaper than coal.
“Now, it’s not true – and because of that lie, and it’s a lie, we’re going to delay moving to something that we have to move to which is nuclear because you need a baseload power.”
It has been known since at least 1920 that adding CO2 to greenhouses and even to open air causes a huge increase in plant growth, with no harm caused to plants or animals. The “climate emergency” is a hoax.https://t.co/pEpDL1b04t

Executive Board member of the World Health Organization (2004-7), including Chair
AUSTRALIA’S “vaccine queen”, Professor Kristine Macartney, has gone AWOL at a time when questions are being asked in the Senate and elsewhere about the failure of the Federal Government to protect Australians from half-tested and often lethal mRNA vaccines.
One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts recently asked Australia’s most senior medical bureaucrats and the big-shot Labor lady, Senator Katy Gallagher (Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Minister for the Public Service), why Professor Macartney was absent from recent Senate Estimates Committee hearings.
Prof Macartney is described in bios as an “expert consultant” to the World Health Organisation including the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety and COVID-19 in Education, and is chairwoman of all key Australian vaccine and communicable disease advisory committees.
Detailed grant information provided on the CoFaux website show that the lead vaccine researchers driving all government policy in Australia received $65,330,038 in government grants covering 2020-2021. Prof. Macartney’s name appeared first on every item in a list of recipients of the grants, which according to CoFaux authors, mostly “appears to be money from the WHO, GAVI and PATH and or for “general support services”.
Minister Gallagher dodged a question from Senator Roberts asking if she could confirm the $65 million figure and what the grants were used for and whether there was a conflict of interest from Macartney chairing the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS), which recommends if the federal government should add more vaccines to the schedule, and also the government’s Advisory Committee on Vaccines. He said it seemed like Gallagher had set up Macartney like some sort of “vaccine queen”.
The surly Minister, whose body language seemed to indicate disgust at having to be cross-examined by a mere One Nation senator, hand-balled the question to the Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly who took the question on notice, like most other questions.
Gallagher then added “for the record” that she thought it “unfortunate that individuals were named in this way with no right of reply”. But the same Minister could not explain why Prof. Macartney was not present.
Prof. Macartney has been accused of lying under oath as an expert witness in the Kassam vs Hazzard case heard in the NSW Supreme Court. Brad Hazzard, the bully boy former NSW Health Minister who enforced the Covid scam in that state, was accused of employing fraud and deceit against the Australian public in regard to Covid-19 and vaccination in the case, which attempted to overturn mandatory Covid-19 vaccine requirements for public sector workers.
Immunologist Dr Ted Steele wrote a letter to Macartney accusing her lying under oath about ivermectin, which of course, she was required to do, because emergency use authorisation of vaccines can only be done when, allegedly, no other viable alternative is available. US doctors and leading Australian medical researcher Prof. Thomas Borody all vouched for the effectiveness and safety of ivermectin against Covid. Others found hydroxychloroquine to be an effective treatment.
Other people might ask how one of the most highly qualified medical figures in the nation could get it so wrong on the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines? The obvious answer is that Macartney does not ask questions on the global stage, she merely follows orders from those above and around her e.g. Fauci, Gates and the big pharma chiefs.
The Burnett Institute is named after Sir McFarlane Burnett. He was a world acclaimed immunologist and virologist. A brilliant mind, Burnett developed the culture of viruses in living chick embryos.
Burnett had a major involvement with the WHO3. He had a fascination with the work of Julian Huxley4.. Julian was the first Secretary-General of UNESCO and was an avowed Eugenicist.5 He had a strong belief in the need for world population control6. His brother, Aldous Huxley, was the author of Brave New World.
The Burnett Institute provides advice to the Victorian Government on Lockdown and other strategies during the so-called Covid-19 ‘Pandemic.’7
The Burnett Institute runs COVASIM – a mathematical model assessing the impact of easing COVID-19 restrictions. The government refers to the ‘science’8 that drives their decisions for Victoria’s Covid-19 restrictions.
The Burnett Institute is pivotal in the ‘science’ behind the seemingly ever-changing goal-posts of policies that are having extreme impacts on people’s lives, work and businesses.
Modelling is based on assumptions, some of which may be valid while others are proving to be fatally flawed9.
Nobel prize winner Peter Doherty has backed a plan to give kids COVID vaccines, and thinks Victoria is best placed to make Australia a powerhouse vaccine exporter.
Research Institutes providing technical advice to Australian State and Federal government are heavily influenced by their funding sources. The Doherty Institute, is a joint venture between University of Melbourne and Royal Melbourne Hospital. In the heart of Melbourne’s biomedical precinct,10,11 the Institute has partnerships with WHO, GAVI, PATH12 and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation13
Dr. Chris Morgan, from the Burnett Institute, is a project leader of the Global Immunisation Strategy and Policy. This global health activity is undertaken by the Doherty Institute in collaboration with WHO. This strategy spans the next ten years (2021 – 2030).
*VIPWG is a global group to identify which new techniques to administer, store or track vaccines represent the best investment opportunity for global immunization partners.12
The Doherty Institute Modelling Report29 for National Cabinet was presented on August 3 2021 by Professor Jodie McVernon: This was modelling for Vaccine coverage of 60-80% to plan our way out of restrictions such as lockdowns.
The executive Summary claims:
“For ‘baseline’ levels of social and behavioural restrictions, rapid epidemic growth is expected at 50 and 60% coverage, with more substantial transmission reduction by 70 and 80% targets. In these scenarios reduced effectiveness of the public health ‘test, trace, isolate, quarantine’ (TTIQ) response is anticipated due to high caseloads; “30
Accordingly, extended and stringent social measures would likely be required to control epidemic growth if the transition to Phase B is made at 50% or 60% coverage
Emergence of ‘vaccine escape’ variants will require re-evaluation of targets and associated requirements for public health measures.
So at 50-60% ‘vaccine coverage’, stringent lockdowns will need to continue. As of writing (mid August, 2021), official coverage is currently 24.4%. And all bets are off whether lockdowns and other harsh measures would ease above 60% because of the ‘variants’ wildcard.
This appears to be a ‘percentage vaccinated’ model, rather than a health outcomes model.
There is no mention in the Summary of:
Easing and modifying policy if hospitalisations and/or deaths decrease,
Modifying policy to include affordable re-purposed medicines such as Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, zinc and antibiotics,
Impact on policy of a scenario of failure of vaccines to significantly reduce infection transmission.31-34
Melbourne University facilitates research grants and fellowships through the Wellcome Trust.
Wellcome is one of the world’s top funders of health research. It’s sprawling charitable activities in the pandemic include co-leading a WHOprogramto support new COVID-19 therapeutics.
Wellcome’s £28bn endowment, has at least £1.25bn invested in companies working on COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics: Roche, Novartis, Abbott, Siemens, Johnson & Johnson20, and — through its holdings in the investment company Berkshire Hathaway — Merck, Pfizer, AbbVie and Bristol Myers Squibb21.
Melbourne University has some leading academics who are involved with the Australian and global response to Covid-19.
Professor Sharon Lewin is the inaugural Director of the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity. She was interviewed with America’s Dr. Anthony Fauci Director, National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases,USA, October 2020 regarding COVID-19: The Global View:
Professor Lewin: “I think on a public health response our instruments are pretty crude. We kind of throw a ton of things, when countries really want to get on top of it, in addition to masks, stopping gatherings, working at home, closing schools, all the different things we did here, and its a very blunt instrument. We then peel them back one at a time, hoping we get the one right.
I think if we had a far more quantitative assessment of what we now call non pharmacological interventions, NPI’s, it would help. We’ve got some idea, we think, of potentially the impact of masks, but of this raft of things we do, I would like to see that more refined..
What we can do is look at other countries, and that’s what we do a lot in Australia – look at what worked and what didn’t work and how we can inform our own policy. That I hope will get a lot more precise.”

The CSIRO:
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation is Australia’s top research body24. According to The Australian newspaper, CSIRO and several Australian Universities, including the University of Melbourne and Monash University, have engaged in at least 10 joint projects with the Chinese Wuhan Institute of Virology25
The level 4 high security Wuhan Institute of Virology is at the centre of growing international concern as the source of Covid-19. The lab has been linked to the Chinese military by US Intelligence.28
Conclusions:
Melbourne’s world renowned scientists, academics, medical officers and politicians are working closely together with State and Federal governments. Experimental coronavirus injections are being pushed on the whole Australian population.
Computer modelling is used to justify draconian policies. These measures are having a high negative impact on physical, psychological, and economic health.
Vaccine coverage of 60-80% will be necessary to ‘return to normal’ according to the Prime Minister, apparently regardless of possible future low infection and hospitalisation rates.
The media ha become the mouthpiece for the roll-out of Coronavirus jabs. There is absolute silence on any affordable preventative or treatment options!
The Australian policy makers are guided strongly by the directives of the World Health Organisation and the US Centre for Disease Control (CDC). Australia has close financial ties with the globalist agenda of the World Economic Forum, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome.
Motivation towards public health is being radically conflicted by the unbelievable profits to be made all along the supply chain of patenting, sale and delivery of tests, PPE and experimental injections.
In the third part of this blog we will look at the conflicted approval process of therapeutics for Covid-19 in Australia as Senator Malcolm Roberts interrogates John Skerritt of the Therapeutic Goods Administration. To give a global perspective, Dr. Pierre Kory demands to know why US Congress is not supporting the use of drugs such as Ivermectin for Covid-19.
High consequence infectious diseases (HCID) “As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. There are many diseases which can cause serious illness which are not classified as HCIDs.” https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid
33. Delta Variant Outbreak in Israel Infects Some Vaccinated Adults
“TEL AVIV—About half of adults infected in an outbreak of the Delta variant of Covid-19 in Israel were fully inoculated with the Pfizer Inc. vaccine, prompting the government to reimpose an indoor mask requirement and other measures to contain the highly transmissible strain.” Wall Street Journal 25 june, 2021
Frontline doctors and health professionals in many countries have been speaking out¹ for over a year about the successful prevention² and early treatment³ of Covid-19 with a mix of re-purposed medicines such as Ivermectin4, Methylprednisolone5, Azithromycin6 as well as Quercitin7, Vitamin C8, Vitamin D9 and Zinc10.
In Australia and America, during the so-called ‘coronavirus pandemic,’11 these affordable, effective medicines were not approved for use for Covid-19, and were actively suppressed.
It doesn’t make any sense… to restrict existing Covid-19 treatment protocols!… unless we: ‘follow the money’.
Where is the most money to be made from Covid-19? Global vaccine rollout to all age groups, and patented pharmaceuticals.
Why are our governments complicit in promoting the Vaccine as the one size fits all ‘prevention’ for Covid-19? While treatments in the pipeline such as monoclonal antibodies are only fit for hospital use and will be prohibitively expensive.
Covid-19 is a global issue and many countries around the world are in lock step in their policy response to coronavirus outbreaks in 2020 and 2021. There is also a unified message that the primary medical response is rapid development of vaccines.
In order to understand the Australian response better, it is first instructive to look at the very coordinated and conflicted global influence of key bodies.
Global vaccine partners:
WHO:
The World Health Organization’s biggest non- government funder, is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. GAVI* is WHO’s second biggest non-government funder.12,13
GAVI draws on the strengths of its core partners: the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the World Bank, as well as vaccine manufacturers and other public and private partnerships.
GAVI links performance based funding for governments and ‘Civil Society Organisations*’ to immunisation outcomes based on Vaccination coverage. GAVI works with governments and CSO’s for delivery and demand creation. 18,19
*CSO = NGO’s, community and faith based organisations, professional associations, academic and research institutions
“In September of 2019, Bill Gates spent $55 million on a pre-ipo equity investment into BioNtech, which later partnered with Pfizer to make its mRNA vax. That Gates investment is now worth over $550 million dollars,” independent journalist Jordan Schachtel tweeted in April 2021.
“In quarter four of 2020 Gates Inc. dropped another $85 million into BioNtech stock. That investment is now worth about $200 million…”17
The influence of all of the above collaborators with the Australian state and federal governments to promote and progress the covid-19 vaccine roll-out as the central medical response to the so-called pandemic should not be underestimated.
