**CONTENT WARNING** 28th April 1996 sees the beginning one of the darkest incidents in Australian history - Martin Bryant, in possession of a number of firearms, fatally shoots 35 people and wounds 23 in and around the historic tourist attraction, Port Arthur, about an hour away from Hobart in Tasmania's far south-east, with the perpetrator being captured the next day, April 29th, after a shootout with police. Martin Bryant is tried, pleads guilty and is sentenced to 35 consecutive life sentences in Hobart's Risdon Prison – basically a death sentence without the execution. Join Phoebe, Clancy and Damo as they discuss the precedents, the lead-up, the events and the aftermath. ———————————— Find us on Twitter at: https://www.twitter.com/letssavethegg Listen to us on Anchor.FM - https://anchor.fm/letssavethegg/ ———————————— Music by Ukulelvis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtPm4hb04r0 ————————————…

In this political retrospective, Damo, Feebie and Clancy look at what happened and give their thoughts on the good and the bad (and the ugly) of what happened. We also have a lot of laughs, and Damo learns about the female use of condoms... ———————————— Find us on Twitter at: https://www.twitter.com/letssavethegg Listen to us on Anchor.FM - https://anchor.fm/letssavethegg/ ———————————— Music by Ukulelvis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtPm4hb04r0 ————————————…
