| dc.description.abstract | On 10 November 1988, Julian Knight was sentenced for "one of the worst massacres in Australian history". Knight, then aged 19, had shot and killed seven people, and injured 19 others, in a shooting spree carried out on Hoddle St, in suburban Melbourne, on 9 August 1987. The Hoddle Street massacre, as Knight's crimes became known, became one of Australia's most well-known mass murders. Julian Knight has been the subject of media attention again in recent years. Knight has brought an action against the Commonwealth government seeking damages for the abuse he suffered as a cadet at Duntroon. If this action proceeds, it might reignite debate about Knight's responsibility for his crimes. | en |
