Do you guys compare more recent tragedies to some past event to try to gauge the level of atrocity? When 9/11 happened did people in the UK say this is 6 times worse than the troubles or some shit? Or is that just an American thing?

I'm Au*tralian but we still use Christchurch as a reference because the shooter was from over here and because of the cultural and geographical proximity of us and NZ.
Port Arthur is in Tasmania, the small island to the South of Melbourne that everyone (including us) forgets about sometimes. That massacre was a landmark as it lead to serious gun reform, buybacks and amnesty for surrendered weapons introduced by a centre-right government.
Also I support the pontification of the Aotearoan Pope, because why not.
Fuck yeah. You get some white smoke bombs, I'll get a plane ticket and a funny hat
