At a nearby service station, he killed a woman and forced her boyfriend Glen Pears into the boot of the car. Bryant then ended up where he started - back at the Seascape Hotel, where he pulled Glen out of the boot and took him inside. Sometime during that night, hostage Glen Pears was shot and killed and the hotel caught fire. It was thought that setting the hotel on fire was an act of suicide, but instead, a badly burnt Bryant ran to police and surrendered.

In November , Hobart Supreme Court Judge William Cox handed Bryant 35 life sentences, plus an additional years in prison, without the possibility of parole. The entire sentence will be served in a small mental health unit with only a few dozen inmates. The horror of Port Arthur was the catalyst for sweeping gun reform in Australia. Rapid-fire weapons were essentially outlawed as part of the National Firearms Agreement, enacted just 12 days after the shootings.

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations. If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you.

Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer. If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection — it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly.

This includes other media organisations. If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used. In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives retain data even after a secure erasure.

If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media. If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion. If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you.

Read the following transcript and then decide for yourself if you think this slow moving and slow thinking individual was the same one who acted like a combat assassin to execute an operation as efficient as the Port Arthur massacre. Well we have spoken to your lawyer and he knows that we're talking to you. A, He knows, he knows. Yeah I got umm, one ooh, off a gun dealer and also I got two of 'em umm, got two off Mr Warren might hold them up aah, and we'll perhaps talk about each one individually.

That might be the best way, better'n we. I never, the funny thing is, I never umm, got round to using it. Even though I bought it, but it scared me the thought of it not working, and probably ricocheting out. Five thousand dollars with the scope on it.

It was gonna be four and a half thousand without the scope but it was five thousand with the scope and strap and also got, got some ammunition thrown in. Alright, what, what's sort of special about it bearing in mind I don't know too much about firearms Martin but? Can I just look through it, am I allowed to have a look through the scope. That's a special one for the gun itself. Terry Hill said umm, there's extras with that AR15, and I said well I'd be interested in some extras, but he said it'll cost you more.

He said there's a scope, little Colt scope that goes with it and he said a strap and some ammo and he said it'll cost you five hundred dollars more. No, I never discussed it, I never, I just said I had the cash on me and he said that's alright. No, not really. Except when we were living, umm, he, I can still remember when you were young, small and he said you used to come in here and just look around after you'd finished school, I said yeah, so I knew him.

Mr Paine and myself are about the same, we've got really no, well limited knowledge of firearms. Did you always deal with Terry when you went to the Guns and Ammo or did you deal with the staff as well?

Ohh there's only that other person, other man there, he dealt, he passed me the bullets, I used to just give Terry the money. Ill just ask Mr Warren to pick up a scope we have there on the floor because that might be causing the confusion. I believe that that scope was probably fitted to that gun before we got it. Now does that. No I've never seen that scope before in my life. No I've never. Never seen that scope in my life. Now you say you've never seen that three 0 eight before but you did in fact own a three 0 eight?

Umm, I managed to get that, a load of it, about six, seven boxes with twenty in each box, ohh about four or five years ago but I had it stored away, been stored away, I never got to use that and, and it's only recently that I got to use it but, but they were the wrong bullets.

So I went over to Terry Hill for the first time for years and he said you're using the wrong bullets Martin, you should be using the military hard, hard top bullets. He said the only ones I've got in stock, I've got a case of three thousand rounds and he said it'll cost you nine, think it was nine hundred and thirty dollars. And I said I'll think about it, I'll get back to you on Monday. So it was on the Friday, I phoned him up a few hours later, I said I've got the money, I'll come over and buy the rounds.

Umm, yeah you can buy it, I think you can buy hard top from other gun dealers but it's fairly hard to get hold of. Alright, we'll have a look at the last gun which is on the floor. And this is a point two two three calibre self-loading rifle.

Yeah my, ahh, Mum never knew, no. But the funny thing is umm, my Dad said if, when we used to go over to Richmond, he used to point it out, he said if you ever go over there Martin, to that prison anytime, I'm not gonna ever come and visit you, he said. So stay away, stay out of trouble. This, I mean, it's wrong isn't it. I shouldn't be in here. Altogether, probably, probably twenty or thirty rounds out of that AR10 and probably twenty rounds out of that AR15 and that's about it, mmm.

Well on the way back from Kingston I did, one day with the Honda Civic for, for not having it registered. He said what about your driver's licence. I said I haven't got a driver's licence. Ohh he said, that makes things difficult. So then like I didn't appear in court 'cos I didn't have to 'cos I got a fine of about two hundred dollars. Just going back to your diving ahh, for a minute Martin ahh, you say you did have lessons with driving or did someone train you?

Martin, just be, while, before I forget it, can we have a look at the three 0 eight again please Mr Warren. The one with the scope. I'd like you to have a closer look at, look at it. I wish I had that AR15 in here, then I could probably get out. Jump part of the window, I could probably jump through the window and escape because of this. I don't like being locked up, it's not very nice. Martin, do you remember the twenty eighth of April, Sunday the twenty eighth of April this year?

Aah, no I don't. Was that the day I suppose everyone's talking about. Ohh, about the drama of me being in Royal Hobart Hospital, I think. Perhaps if I make it easier. Do you recall going to ahh, your mother's place on Saturday night with Petra and having a meal?

Left, the Volvo wasn't, I didn't use the Volvo very much, once I sold the boat, the boat. You see that's how I got, I had an inflatable Zodiac. Did you hear, have you heard. And that's how I paid for my AR15s 'cos I got about four, a bit over four thousand dollars for my. I almost gave it away.

I got sick of diving, scuba diving and I nearly lost me life through a boating mishap with my other girlfriend. I was down past the South East Cape. And it was just, it was just luck that a fishing boat came along otherwise I wouldn't be here, me girl, me girlfriend wouldn't be, definitely because she didn't have a wetsuit on. The motor actually stopped. Went through one tank of petrol, put the other tank on the hose and one, it was the connection inside the motor had fallen off. I kept on trying to start it, it just wouldn't start, it wasn't until a fishing boat picked us up that actually And it was That saved us.

I would've been dead. I would've had a, ahh my girlfriend would've been dead the next morning. And I was starting to get cold feet, my feet were starting to freeze up and, I was shaking, my girlfriend was shaking.

It was right up near Hen Island, past South East Cape there, 'cos we launched the boat at Research Bay, went right round there 'cos the weather was good you see and the weather was, we were just coming back, halfway back and it stopped The funny thing is, I forgot to take a towel with me so, mmm, I was looking for a towel in the Volvo but I couldn't find one. When, when are you sort of talking about now Martin, when's this latest incident, your surfing?

This is the last time you went. Yeah, spent a little bit. Unfortunately I couldn't go on any more otherwise I would've gone away in May. I was informed nicely that I wasn't able to go away for a long time, for about twelve months, which upset me greatly. Who, who actually told you that? A, I wasn't able to go on a trip probably for six months and that was ohh, the people, Perpetual Trustees, a lady that looks after my money.

Yeah, we phone up whenever I, I needed something to talk about. Ohh, here's me court case is it? Gees I'll say. Hey Martin, what, sorry I keep going back to these guns.

What did you, ahh, you know you said you went a couple of time to practise shooting, where did you go? I used to only go to one spot, between Dunnalley and Eagle Hawk Neck, there's a turnoff there, just past Mundunna there on the left, there's a road, a couple of roads as you just go. Ohh four or five times, then I used to put the gun back in the car and used to leave and go home. No not really 'cos like I said I only used that AR15 about twenty rounds in that one and, and not many round, more rounds in the AR So, and I, I never got round to using the shotgun because of it
