A year after the Wieambilla attack, an investigation is questioning if law enforcement could have done anything differently to prevent it.
There was a small arsenal of guns. Troubling online posts, rendered even more sinister in hindsight. And complete isolation, in and of itself not a concern, but – in combination with the other factors – is perhaps a cloak to hide the dagger. All this emerged in the days after six people, two of whom were police officers , were killed at 251 Wains Road, Wieambilla, on 12 December 2022.
Gareth, Nathaniel and Stacey Train, who lived there, were found to have been primarily motivated by a “Christian violent extremist ideology” when they killed. Almost a year later, a question remains unanswered: could law enforcement and intelligence agencies do anything differently to stop a similar attack happening? And, if so, have authorities already changed the way they work? Are yet to be finalised, it was revealed during a pre-inquest hearing this week. But it is expected that a major focus will be what was known about the Trains before four Queensland police climbed over the locked front gate of the Wieambilla property
