Update: 5 people were killed

  • Hope it results in easier access to free mental health programmes. Like how Port Arthur led to the expensive (and politically brave) gun buyback scheme.

        And if it is a white perpetrator who targeted non-whites then Libs will insist it is mental illness rather than white supremacy indoctrination.
