I think Howard's reaction to PA is one discussion.
It's totally another discussion from looney land to think that the AFP manipulated or controlled Martin Bryant to do his act - for terrorism, for political use - for anything
my god ---------- if one wanted to use someone - there are people in society one might target to use
MB would NOT be one of them ---------- the mere thought is totally insane
Bryant was the most uncontrollable son of a bitch god ever put breath into and the fact that he's still alive attests to that he was no political pawn
with someone as crazy as Bryant - if you were dumb enough to use him for political purpose - you'd make sure he ended up dead before anyone could talk to him
