Supposedly first four cops attended to enquire after a mising person.
Not been seen by family four year or so, but gone silent in the last week or so.
Seems he was one of the scrotes and this was his brother's place.
Thoughts with @Crazy-Horse and his colleagues.
@Donsteppa 's story adds more than I had seen.

In an odd way it feels like it makes even less sense after that SMH article. Former diligent Principal has heart attack, turns obsessed lobbyist, abandons wife, vanishes into insane/evil hermit cold-blooded executioner.
Though as I type that I see the Guardian article that you've posted - looks like the rabbit hole went deep for the brother and the sister-in-law. And looks like he joined them.

There is a real fucking weird story to be told here.
It's out near Chinchilla. Add mental health, access to firearms, probable meth use and a desire to be isolated. No one out that way is normal.

@Crazy-Horse glad to see you post, first thought was we "know" a cop up there

More about the brother and mental instability in the family.
Oh yeah. Fucking flags everywhere:
“When it becomes clear that we are in a time like no other and you head out into the wilderness to escape persecution, know that my wife and I will offer refuge to all brothers and sisters,” he posted. “I will be scanning the UHF channels when that times comes.” Gareth said the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 – Australia’s deadliest mass shooting – had been a “false flag” operation to “disarm the Australian population”. He also posted about his mistrust for authorities, including comments critical of the Queensland Special Emergency Response Team (Sert), which ultimately arrived at the property and is understood to have shot him. “If you are a conservative, anti-vaxx [sic], freedom lover, protester, common law, conspiracy talker, alternative news, independent critical thinker, truther, Christian, patriot etc etc expect a visit from these hammers,” he said.
Nothing like a bit of common law / independent thinker to get the crazies moist. Ice it with a layer of "Port Arthur False Flag" rubbish and it is a perfect storm.
It's fine to report a missing person, but it is hard when they don't want to be found. No good outcome.

thats bloody horrible, rather than have the common sense to tell his wife he was leaving her....he just disappears and then freaks out "the government" is following him or coming to get him and guns them down
-
Lived and was a principal up here
Because of course he did.
Articles in the local paper remind of that great Billy Connelly bit about how people describe serial killers when it comes out, how they are never life of the party "any body want to come and see my daggers?"

As soon as someone tells me they think Port Arthur is a conspiracy, I immediately enquire if they have access to firearms.
I mentioned it earlier but no one would be that surprised that some blockies from Darling Downs ended up doing this.

People have actually said that to you?

Yes. When I suspect someone is batshit insane, I tend to encourage them to voice their thoughts to see just how deep the rabbit warren runs. They're always too pleased to find a person who they think shares the same beliefs and it's remarkably easy to do. Red tape -> government intervention / intrusion -> loss of liberty. All perfectly sane topics at the surface with legitimate examples. Then have a look under the surface to see how fast that duck is paddling.
I'd say after the last few years there'd be more than ever.

Yep some weird survivalists types out that way and a large area for drug manufacture.
Large isolated Bush with little farms.
Not a place I like stopping at, straight through for me. -

Yeah, true unfortunately - we drove Darwin to Broome, and there were a shit-ton of places that you really didn't want to stop at. I think the issue is the proper isolation - in NZ you're never really that far from anywhere, but some of these places you are just cut off from the world in many ways.

The sheer size of Australia when you look at it on a map is eye opening.
When you consider the country has a population of 25 mill and ( off the top of my head ) about 10 of those live in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane that’s A LOT of space for ferals to manufacture drugs and become lunatics in the extreme heat and isolation.
It’s a wonder this doesn’t happen so much more often, thankfully it doesn’t.

out that way it actually makes me wonder if this was more of a documentary than a horror movie
