There must be more to the story then they are letting on.
Seems strange to just murder cops because they paid you a visit.

Yes it does. Apparently there were large stashes of firearms and ammunition in the house, perhaps they didn't want it discovered.

Obviously alien involvement.


No idea, but it's not even a half story we have been told. Just snippets of nothing.

Come on. He is a nutcase. Port Arthur never happened so the government can ban guns etc. Etc.
 
These people may be right wing conspiracy theorists, but the narrative dictates is must be the first assumption. (Rarely actually true)

It would be pretty smart to wait for some facts, no?

Was he a pedo on the run?
Some kind of criminal?
On drugs?
Or did he just get dressed in camo and decide its time to kill cops?

Anarchists come in both flavours also, or just mentally ill, not ideologically left or right with intention.

Some of the facts include one of the guys social media posts which indicate his mindset.

But you are right that its early days and there will be a lot more disclosed in time.
 
Scariest time of my life... Spent several months in that area (Tara - Kogan - Condamine "triangle") doing geophysics for the McAllister coal project in the 80's. Access onto properties was not a given. Don't drink in the pub on Sat night, definitely don't go to the back room to play pool !!
 
Certainly loonies, two guys and a woman, the background story should be interesting.
Ex headmaster, certainly doesn't sound like a right wing militant, I wonder how the woman fits in, partner of one of the guys or sister.
 
This is the current understanding of the guys who killed the police in Far West Queensland.
Over the cliff

In a remote patch of Australian scrub, Gareth Train was building his “ark”.
“The name given to me is Gareth,” he wrote, introducing himself to an online forum for conspiracy theorists and survivalists in January 2021.

“I currently live on my rural property in western Queensland were [sic] I have been building an ‘ark’[,] homesteading for the last five years preparing to survive tomorrow. I am not interested in indoctrinating or convincing anyone of anything.”
Train, 47, was paranoid and harboured conspiracy theories. He believed the 1996 Port Arthur massacre – which led to an Australia-wide crackdown on guns – had been a “false-flag operation”. He said tactical police targeted people who were “conspiracy talkers” or “truthers”.

And he was convinced his online posts were being placed in an “intelligence file” by the spy agency, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation.

Now the media is reporting they were meth heads.

Online conspiracies don't turn people into crazy murderers. Drug use does. What police need to do is figure out who supplied them with meth, guns, and ammo and charge them with being accessories to murder.
