Joel Cauchi, who stabbed and killed six people and hospitalised another 12 people was a known mental health patient from Queensland.
With a long history of schizophrenia, Cauchi was living an itinerant lifestyle with deteriorating mental health and apparently not being adequately medicated or monitored.
How could this disaster have been prevented? Significant questions remain unanswered.
Who was responsible for managing his mental illness while in the community?
Had he been considered safe to be in the community and how could that decision have been so wrong?
Had he been lost to the system and fallen through the cracks in the system?
Was this because the Queensland mental health system is severely under resourced with insufficient trained staff and not enough mental health beds in a failed public health system?
Was this tragedy a result of the closing of mental health facilities and a foreseeable consequence of a policy of treating mentally ill patients within the community?
Was Cauchi being treated in Queensland under a Treatment Authority receiving enforced treatment and had he moved interstate to NSW to avoid treatment?
Did the Queensland mental health system know he had moved out of the state to NSW?
When was the last time his mental health had been assessed in Queensland?
Fixing this broken system may help prevent a repeat of this horror story.
I am still astounded most people lay down willingly at the hands of the media and establishment and continue to fail to see through yet another elaborate Hollywood styled false flag operation. There have been many instances of the same script panning out over and over, all exposed by those you continue to call conspiracy theorists whom are forever suffering from intimidation and cancellation for speaking out about it. With what is about to happen to this world imminent you’re all still asleep at the wheel. So keep on wallowing in your emotional stew that’s what the cabal and their operatives want. There’s money to be made at any opportunity. Wake up.
This isn’t Aermica and we thank God everyday that it’s not. Sounds like you could do with a check up too, but of course we.know better as America’s health care system is leading the world.
Yes they were preventable because NSW had rapped the mental health funding and closed down mental health hospitals. It also appears this is how NSW Police deals with mental health patients as the last 4 was shot dead. Even the 90+ year old lady in a walker suffering with dementia was tasered to death.
In this day and age, the closeness of this tragic event in conjunction with the Wakeley incident, leaves me feeling awfully suspicious.
Why hasn’t the untouchable Fentiman been asked about the treatment or lack of this man received ?
Dear Malcolm,
I appreciate your news. I totally agree with you regarding our health system, in particular the way in which all of the mental health institutions were closed permanently, leaving people with serious issues homeless and living on the street. I see it everywhere everyday. That isn’t to say that those institutions were faultless as they needed a total overhaul. But like many other problems our government has created, they’re thrown away the baby with the bath water.
But even worse, I suspect that this was done intentionally to make people really shit scared so that the majority of our population want totalitarian control, full surveillance, not only facial recognition but will fully accept computer chip implants or other forms of branding and AI control such as “the mark of the beast” (Rev.13)
It seems Australia is a forerunner of this system where our population are willing occupants for the globalist to experiment all of these new systems of control on us.
I recently visited Bondi. There were security guards at the rich outlets. I ask what did they do? Lock up their shops.
The innocent security guard was not trained thoroughly and paid with his life.
Australia need to plan for more events with hatred living amongst us.
Laws need to be in place for all shopping malls, entertainment venues etc for terrorist or violent events.
If you don’t plan ahead many more will fall victim.
I live where this man came from. I have seen for years people get released into the community from the mental health wards and it always falls apart. Private businesses suck up NDIS money and government support to help these people get into the community and when out in the community those people are left on their own. Many of these people have committed very serious or violent crimes and they simply can not cope or function properly on their own without support. Sadly there is money in all of this and so these people get let out, private businesses make money and QLD Health is free to re-purpose or offload the places where these people were kept. Originally they wanted to take the mental asylum land and turn it into a series of apartment complexes but now they want to re-purpose it to be an extension of our overcrowded and under funded public hospital. Either way these people who are being released into the community were institutionalised for very good reason and they should not be in the community because they are highly dangerous. As I type this I know a man who is being released into the community from the mental ward (the same one where Joel Cauchi was probably in) who murdered his parents in cold blood. Sadly with the right money and ‘the treatment it pays for’ the private businesses believe all mental illnesses can be cured!! Everyone who knows this person who is being released is worried because of how easy it is for him to slip back into his delusions. Sadly it was only a matter of time before one of these people snapped and re-offended under the influence of their mental illness. I have also seen people released into the community go off their medication and attempt suicide because they can not cope or function and to remain in the mental health treatment system they re-offended because they know they can not cope outside in the real world.
The problem with “mental health care” is that it makes outcomes worse. Please read, “Overprescribing Madness” by Dr. Martin Whitely (AUS). Based on his reporting, I would not refer anyone to “mental health care” in Australia (or any other western country which bases its “diag-nonsense” on the DSM).
Most suicides happen within 3-5 days of a hospital internment.
Most “treatments” (drugs, ECT, TMS) make the health of the patient worse. In rare (very rare) instances, the physical cost/trauma of the diag-nonsense and treatment is called for – but most patients are diag-nonsensed because nobody is listening to them.
Most mass murders in the USA are committed by young people who are on these “treatments”/drugs.
I say “most” because I don’t have the stats at hand, but my statements are supported. Try Robert Whitaker, “Anatomy of an Epidemic,” or Katinka Blackford-Newman, “The Pill that Steals Lives.” These are just 2 from US and UK, respectively.
The patient culture in hospitals are contagious, as well, teaching people poor coping strategies.
Thank you Senator Roberts for your email.
80% of schizophrenia is caused from heavy marihuana use and now ICE.
Yes, the States must prioritise mental health through funding however, legislation regarding marihuana and ICE use, manufacturing and dealing MUST allow Courts to imprison those who are found guilty. It is these criminals who cause our youth this irreparable brain damage that requires lifelong medication and support.
Another option with medication is that a sufferer may have quarterly injections that aids in the stability of their mental capacity and allows better social functionality. Part of this treatment includes the offer to sign a legally enforceable contract to which the patient agrees to take medication on either a daily basis or a quarterly regime. Should the contract be broken, then it’s enforceable by law to be returned to the medical facility.
Lastly, the mantra of “I have rights” and the subsequent refusal to undergo any treatment needs to be revisited and better qualified when dealing with the scourge of drug abuse.
If you and your readers would please watch on YouTube – “Seattle is Dying” – the underlying issues of homelessness and mental health is drug use and its decriminalisation.

Malcolm is right! Too many people consigned to the Scrap Heap of our Society. An endless list. While Politicians play Power Games; Traitors betray; Criminals blackmail and Cowards quiver, Humanity becomes more and more degraded. There is no UNCORRUPTED Higher Authority to appeal to. People are stuck on one side of the Cyber Disconnect Abyss. Their Global Reality has become skewed and they have become impotent to act with Discernment and Power to counteract immediate or creeping Disaster.
