Published
A Queensland coroner has found the 2022 Wieambilla attack cannot be called an act of terrorism. Two police officers and a neighbour were killed by conspiracy theorists — Gareth, Nathaniel and Stacey Train — at a remote property in rural Queensland almost three years ago. The coroner found all three suffered from a 'shared delusional disorder' in the lead-up to the ambush.
