Too bloody right, that title! We reflect upon Julian Knight’s horrific experience at RMC Duntroon in 1987. Horror breeds horror (Duntroon bred Hoddle Street), just as bullies breed bullies, just as violence breeds violence, just as sexual abuse breeds sexual abuse. We commend this article and author Dr Martin Hobbs’ academic […]
Julian Knight continues to be mistreated in the prison system of Corrections Victoria in many ways; harks back to RMC Duntroon. May be that is why he has the resilience to keep copping the government crap. It’s like ‘been there done that’, like this author: (1) Julian Knight served out his […]
RMC Duntroon’s antiquated regime of bogging, marching drill, bastardisation and otherwise Infantry Basic Training is useless for contemporary war fighting. Australians are bred naturally better than the old crap. Plus the selection process is anti-SAS. In a war, the military needs sly killers not toy soldiers. A prison recruitment secret brigade, […]
Given the lack of interest, the crap training, record resignation rate, staff shortages and the ADF in desperate recruitment crisis; well we anticipate RMC Duntroon to go wholly online soon. This would mean applicants can come from anywhere, at any age, no fitness or health checks, but if they can muster […]
Royal Military College Staff Cadet Julian Knight in 1987 was bashed by Kokoda senior cadet acting CSM Philip Reed, in coward punch breaking Julian’s nose. Julian Knight’s legal testimony: “At around 0100hrs on Saturday 23 May 1987, I left the Private Bin (nightclub) with Kokoda Company 3rd Class cadets Craig SMITH […]
Canberra’s RMC Duntroon asylum is modelled on the British old schoolboy fictional toff English ‘public’ school of Graybridge of ‘Ripping Yarns‘ infamy. But instead of Ripping Yarns 9 episodes, RMC course runs for just 3; yet of late (2024) due to diminished applicants it’s been reduced to 12 months running time. […]
But “finest” at what? RMC Duntroon, from experience of many hopeful and ambitious cadets, inculcates negative leadership and intra-company distrust, rivalries, resentment and hate. Senior cadets ranked at just six months of Duntroon training apart are institutionally pitted against incoming junior 3rd Class cadets recruited to own company from Day 1. […]
We detail the lead up to the Hoddle Street Shooting Spree of 9th August 1987 from Julian Knight’s targeted and relentless subjection to hate-filled criminal persecution (bastardisation) by senior cadets at the Australian Army Officer Royal Military College at Duntroon (Jan – Jun 1987). This sad and horrific tale of Hoddle Street […]
Statement in the matter of: ‘Assault of Julian Knight at Duntroon’ This statement made by me accurately sets out the evidence that I would be prepared, if necessary, to give in court as a witness. The statement is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I make […]

This is a personal factual detailed account of the experiences of junior recruit over a six month period, after having been accepted by the rigorous Australian Army (officer) Selection Board into its elite Royal Military College (RMC) Duntroon in Canberra.

Aside from subsequent media scrutiny over the decades since the Hoddle Street Shootings, on the very next day, Monday 10th August 1987, Melbourne’s lead newspaper The Age reported the specific crime event as a news story on its front page. That news article represented objective factual journalism. The Unbiased Journalism
