Unfortunately Australian gun control didn't make a difference here.

Never miss an opportunity to use a crisis.
In this case they can step up efforts to ban knives.

I can kill you with a non pointed plastic knife.

 I can kill you with nothing more sophisticated than a plastic coated playing card.

As a matter of fact, I can kill as many people as I want with a plastic coated playing card 'if' the people are asleep as these children probably were.

 I can kill as many people, in a public place as I can catch off guard .. (because I am only carrying playing cards).

I can us a rock, a baseball bat, a pencil, a broken and jagged piece of glass to do the same damage.

 I can even kill you with a long winded, leftist speech about gun control!

 The point is .. The only thing a blustering, long winded leftist can do is to change the way I can kill you!

 Idiots .. Everyone of them!

An uncle has revealed the final moment he saw his eight nieces and nephews before they were found stabbed to death at a Cairns home on Friday.

He told Daily Mail Australia the children were in the front yard of the property while he spoke to their 37-year-old mother, who's been arrested for murder, just a day before the tragedy.

She told her brother-in-law that she had 'found God and was changing her life around'.

Police confirmed on Saturday morning the woman is a mother to seven of the children and an aunt of the eighth.

The likely killer is the mother and has identified as Mersane Warria, also known as Raina Thaiday.
