Prior-Target9462 on January 12, 2026 5:03 am The amount of gun violence in Tasmania recently is worrying. And youth violence with knives, machetes etc..
Flybuys on January 12, 2026 5:36 am Wild timing with how the Tas gov is pushing back in the gun buy back.
Joosch on January 12, 2026 5:57 am Did anyone actually read that he was breaking into a man’s home with 4 other people? He fucked around and found out. If he wasn’t a flog, he wouldn’t have been shot.
