‘Tasteless’: Survivor condemns film about Port Arthur mass murderer – SBS
News of a new film, chronicling the life of the murderer behind one of Australia’s worst mass shootings, has sparked upset and disbelief amongst survivors.
Survivors of the Port Arthur massacre and Australians, who vividly recall its horrific events, have expressed outrage over a new movie reportedly chronicling the life of the mass murderer involved.
Thirty-five people were killed, and 23 others were injured, in the shooting spree at the historic Tasmanian site in April 1996.
The tragic events prompted the newly-elected Prime Minister John Howard to introduce nationwide gun reform, just twelve days after the shooting.
