Port Arthur: The Conspiracy Theories Explored

Tinfoil hats on. Nick brings the Port Arthur conspiracy to the table: the surrendered rifle, the locked exits, the custom morgue truck and the witness accounts. We dig into what's claimed, what's been debunked and why you never really get the full truth. From there it's gun laws, how a man on an ASIO watch list got a licence before Bondi, and why a million law-abiding owners keep copping the blame. We kick off with Tim's best troll comebacks, how he handles the hate, and whether Instagram finance accounts are getting tax loopholes shut down. Got a conspiracy you want us to cover? Drop it in the comments. Disclaimer: This episode explores conspiracy theories surrounding the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. We're two blokes talking through theories that circulate online, not presenting facts or making claims about what happened. Some of what's discussed has been debunked, and we say so. Our lighter moments are about the theories, never the event. In no way, shape or form are we trivialising the horror of that day or the trauma it left behind. People lost their lives and many more were injured. Our deepest respect goes to every victim, survivor, their families and the Port Arthur and Tasman Peninsula community, who still carry it today.
