When you start to crunch the numbers in that statistical data you start to learn something.
Unlike our politicians the truth doesn't lie.
Australian bureau of statistics figures prove that 1997, the year after the Port Arthur massacre and after little johnnys life saving buyback scam (sorry, I meant scheme
) Australia had the highest murder/suicide count per head of population for 30 years.1998 had the second highest murder/suicide rate in 30 years.
1999 was the third highest in the previous 8 years
To find the lowest murder/ suicide rates between the years of 1915 and 2004 you need to go back to the 40s, back to a time when every man and his dog had a gun and knew how to use it.
