He did well at school, went on to study accountancy and qualified. His first job was at Australia Post and he had worked his way up the career ladder. Now aged 30, he was enjoying the fruits of his own endeavours. But nothing had prepared him to face what would happen next. 29 pm the lives of these two sons of migrants were about to violently intersect. The story of Frank Vitkovic, 21, is the story of a deadly clash of mental illness, access to firearms, media violence and a society that struggles to balance the rights of individuals with the safety of the community at large.

At the end of his murderous rampage, nine people lay dead including Vitkovic himself, his broken body splayed out on the pavement, 11 floors below where he fell from the Australia Post building in Queen Street. His bloody crusade with a semi-automatic M1 Carbine at last at an end, the employees in the Australia Post building began to wake from their nightmare just as Melburnians began to get a glimpse of it. Mr Hallenstein described Vitkovic as ‘armed insanity’, ending the lives of eight people and changing forever the lives of the injured and the witnesses to this macabre event.

Like Knight, Vitkovic had no trouble getting access to firearms or qualifying for the licence that allowed him to buy them. The words on Vitkovic’s application for a shooting licence in October 1997 are chilling in retrospect. ‘I desire to go hunting,’ was his explanation. Vitkovic slipped through the net of firearm legislation and mental health experts. The signs were there if only someone could have seen the whole picture. Vitkovic had obtained a shooter’s licence and an automatic weapon after a psychologist had written a report that Vitkovic was unstable, depressed and partially psychotic.
