I never would have called the police if I were him. Any intruder would be shot and their body burned or buried. Best of all, since there would be no connection between me and the intruder, investigating his missing persons case would never lead the authorities to me.

Exactly. His mistake was thinking he lived in a civilized country. Eventually enough people will start getting the hints, and will stop calling the police for anything.

There’s a new saying going around: “If you own a gun, you also need to own a shovel.”

Australia is a civilized country, with very low crime rates. Killing a teen in this sort of circumstance is beyond the pale for most, and especially in Australia.

While this caused some trouble for David Dunstand and his family, the attention it brought may help to bring about changes in the law.

Australian culture is not anti-self defense. There is a strong independent streak there. The whole extreme gun law situation there was plotted for by a small group of far-leftists and the Australian media, mostly financed by George Soros. If the law had gone through the regular process, not rushed through in a media stirred up frenzy, the law might well have included a provision for self defense in the home.

Don’t give up on Australia.

Like the U.S. Australia is dominated by a very liberal media culture in the big cities. That can change, if Australians figure out a way to get information outside of that data stream.
