The Port Arthur Shooting was - at the time - the worst single gunman massacre in history (35 killed, 21 wounded), but it certainly wasn't the only significant mass shooting in Australia.

I stand corrected. Port Arthur was the only one I knew off the top of my head. I should've researched the issue a little better.

Not a problem - that’s why those of us who know the facts need to speak up, because nobody can be expected to know everything.

Port Arthur made world news because it was so large - I doubt the others were noted much outside Australia at all, but obviously here, they were huge stories.
