Jewish backers had been pushing the government for a long time to get gun control introduced, prior to this Australia had little regulation. Jewish media lied big time about the protest, stated a few thousand attended whereas it was the biggest turnout in history. Protesters covered almost the full length of george street and pitt street. An examination of firearm offence records conducted privately by serving police officers at the time who doubted the government narrative showed there was not a gun issue and the most likely offence was suicide by .22 stirling bolt action. The whole thing was a sham to disarm the population and push their socialist agenda.
