Today Australians have lost a brave, patriotic lady, Mrs Wendy Scurr. We repost Mal’s article from The Great Australians: Wendy Scurr in 2016.
by Malcolm R Hughes (4 December, 2016)
This great Australian, Wendy Scurr, became an unplanned heroine during and after the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996. For those who have not previously seen the purposely lost word “heroine,” the meaning is female hero.
Wendy is happily married to Graeme Scurr and they reside on the mainland of Australia. Why the mainland? Because they were driven out of their home state of Tasmania. Why driven out ? For doing the right thing. You know how it goes these days – but Wendy was ahead of her time, having stuck up for the truth about Port Arthur 20 years ago.
The Port Arthur Massacre was a Federal and Tasmanian government-planned event whereby several people were to be shot dead, at the Port Arthur Historic Site on the island state of Tasmania in Australia.
The reasoning behind this plan (I think) was that the population would then accept the Commonwealth Government’s implementation of the United Nations wish to disarm this part of the World’s public. (See Terry Shulze’s 3-part article here.)
Unfortunately, to fulfill this plan, a dupe was required. Martin Bryant, an intellectually handicapped man, was framed as the gunman and has, until now been imprisoned for 20 years. The killing of 35 people took place on April 28, 1996.
It is now widely accepted that Bryant did not shoot anyone, and could not have been the gunman.
The most evil part of the situation is that many politicians, public servants, lawyers and investigative bodies, have had the proof of this thrust in their faces but will not do anything to rectify the situation.
Wendy Scurr, a survivor of that April 28, 1996 massacre, had been an ambulance driver for several years and a first-aid instructor. Very selfless occupations.
Wendy was a tour guide for the Port Arthur Historic Site until after the massacre, when, owing to events that took place that day, she like others were overtaken by post trauma stress disorder or P.T.S.D.
During the killings, Wendy was nearly hit by a bullet fired from the cafe as she went to investigate the noise coming from within. She had heard the whiz of the bullet right past her but did not realise what it was. Upon visiting the scene two days later, husband Graeme pointed out the hole in the window that indicated what a near miss she had had.
After the tremendous amount of shooting in the historic site’s café, it was Wendy who phoned the police to report the noise – this was at 1.32pm on that infamous Sunday. She had to hold the telephone outside of the office so the person on the receiving end of the call would believe that shots were being fired.
Once the killer had left the Broad Arrow Café (remember: it’s not Martin Bryant as we were brainwashed to believe), Wendy then entered to check on and help the victims. Although she did not see it – no mirror there — she became covered with blood and human tissue. The worst anxiety for all the survivors was not knowing if the gunman was going to return.
She, along with the remaining hundreds of people had to continue in a stressful state as police did not arrive in sufficient numbers until six hours after the first report of the shootings to police headquarters. That deliberate delay was, of course, planned, and is unforgivable.
Months after, Wendy had to cope with a letter she received from the DPP (Director of Public Prosecutions of Tasmania, Damian Bugg) telling her that she would not be required in court to give evidence. That was despite her having been one of the main witnesses to the Port Arthur massacre!
Wendy soon realised the event had been a Federal and State conspiracy. Thus she travelled the east coast of Australia lecturing on her experiences and that of co-workers on the day of the massacre.
By this time, private investigating citizens had unearthed many troubling events of that day and these were spoken about by these investigators at Wendy’s talks. One who shared the podium with her was retired Victorian cop Andrew MacGregor.
Wendy’s contact with a later generation of Aussies has manly been by Youtube. One of her Youtube videos has had 166,000 hits. She is a very loved and admired figure – and a modest one.
Wendy wanted the public to know what really happened on Sunday 28th April, 1996 and to force the release from custody of the entirely innocent man, Martin Bryant.
For this, she was terrorised in her home by the Tasmanian Police to such an extent that the Scurrs were forced to sell up their property and move. She still has health and mental problems related to that pre-planned event.
When “the people” take no notice of what good people like Wendy Scurr tell us, and allow evil employees in Government to get away with their perverted schemes such as the Port Arthur massacre, more of the same will follow. Next time, and there will be many other next times, unless the vile evil-doers are stopped, you and your family members may be the victims either directly or as collateral damage.
I see Wendy as a very courageous woman who deserved a better fate than that dished up by Australian society. It takes an exceptionally brave person to take a stand against the Government and its agents, knowing that at any time, they may arrest you on false charges, to have you thrown in jail.
I consider Wendy Scurr a truly great Australian and am hoping that the Australian public will give Wendy the recognition that she so justly deserves, at some time in the near future.
We love you, Wendy.

R.I.P. Wendy, you have my utmost admiration for what you tried to do!
There is one thing i’ll disagree with you on this though, it’s not widely accepted that Bryant did not shoot anyone..
Either people don’t care enough to look right into it, or they just go along with the official narrative of the day…
The only people, I find, that believe Martin didn’t do it are on groups specifically about Port Arthur..
It’s a sad reality that most people think he did do it!!
This is tragic – very tragic . From my understand Wendy was still pursuing for Martin Bryant case to be reopened and investigated . I also understand that Wendy and her husband was living a mobile life . While Wendy and her legal team were preparing the next challenge. I wonder why they had to be mobile ? We will miss you Wendy – a courageous woman who stood by her convictions .
I saw Wendy Scurr on the public speaking tour years ago. I’ll remember her the rest of my life, she was a very impressive lady. Terribly sad occasion.
Hey Johno
Whereabouts did you see Wendy speak? Inverell or elsewhere?
Thanks
I went to the meeting held at MAX FRY HALL TREVALLYN LAUNCESTON TASMANIA…
THEY WILL NOT LET ME SHARE THE INFO SHEET IN HERE ‼️
THERE WERE A INE OF WHAT I BET WHERE POLICE OR SIMILAR WHO STOOD AT THE BACK STARING AT EVERYONE TRYING TI INTIMIDATE …
THIS IS THE BEGINING OF THEIR FAST FORWARD IF THIS PLAN .
THE REAL BEGINNING WAS SHOOTING JOE GELIEWAZI just south of Hobart….
Who is JOE GELIEWAZI
Rest in Peace Wendy.
You can look down now from wherever you are wonder, “What on earth will it take to wake these people up?”
I wish I could be as brave as this lady. She opened my eyes. RIP.
And JWH and others are still alive whilst Bryant, in solitary for 20 years, per the Sydney Daily Telegraph, has to flog off mars bars to get some gratification.
Australia: You are condemned.
Those who arranged and covered up this are the scum of Australian society.
I am very saddened by Wendy’s passing – not only for her family and other loved ones but for Australia. She had one hell of a story to tell and she tried so hard to tell it. One day her story will in history books – I hope
Such sad news. I did not know Wendy personally but I knew her story well. I pay tribute to her and her perseverance and courage.Let’s keep her story alive and her spirit with us..
What an inspiring & courageous human being with integrity. Rest in Peace.
Maybe we could request/demand that our government holds a National Day of Truth and Reparation in honour of Wendy’s heroic work for truth and justice. Our prime minister has stated in his apology that they will now listen to those whose stories were ignored, and covered up. His apology and promise to do better included whistleblowers.
MaryThank you for the beautiful musical tribute to Wendy it touched my heart and soul.
I talked with Wendy about her experiences and how she and the family were getting on. It was HARD on her.
I used to be a counselor for Vietnam vets with PTSD. I remember one particular Special Forces medic and his story of him being unable to save his best friend. When I was talking to Wendy she related something that happened in the Gift Shop. I recognized from the circumstances and her voice that she was suffering from the guilt of not being able to save someone.
She had to do the triage in the Cafe’, people dead and dying. She had to prioritize her limited resources to the people that might be saved, others were left to die. She had to make that call and it bothered her greatly.
The ceiling in the Cafe’ was coated with human flesh that had exploded from people’s heads, it was dropping into her hair and clothes. She had to kneel in the blood of the people that had bled out. She was covered in so much blood and gore that one time when she left the Cafe’ people came over to help her as they thought she was one of the wounded – it was only then she realized what she must look like.
She never broke down during the horror of that day, but later she did. Then the Police came around and told her to quit asking questions. They sent her to some counselors who tried to mess with her mind so she refused to go back to them. Instead of buckling to the pressure, she rose up and went on a speaking tour.
Tough lady, one of Australia’s true heroines.
I am very sorry to read Mal’s article about Wendy, and that she has passed on. This is so very sad.
At least she died with a beautiful, intact soul and a great deal of integrity. She obviously had a lot of people who cared about her.
I have no doubt that Wendy is now in a better place.
Vale Wendy….You were indeed a true heroine….
Note: All Wendy’s personal files are in safe hands.
Can you confirm this – husky dog .
I believe Wendy once said that she did her best “teaching” at ablution blocks.
Isn’t that perfect?
What an incredible woman!!!
Her courage has educated so many as to who the real criminals are!!!
RIP Wendy, you will never be forgotten!
I can find no corroboration of Wendy’s passing on google. Nothing. Is it possible that this gumshoenews report is erroneous and that Mrs Scurr is still very much alive?
Andrew, It was an email from her friend. Sadly.
Why hasn’t it reached any news article ?
We have always been duped. Most powerful and clandestine society in Australia is it pedophile ring. Martin Bryant was going to expose the people that abused him. The heiress gave him that strength and power.
Sweet dreams Wendy
I will miss you more than you know
Stay strong Greame
