This is the only official website of Australian Soldier Julian Knight.
It was created in 2021 by an informal far-flung band of long-time associates of Julian Knight, cognisant of his background and who collaborate to share the truth about him and his plight as a political prisoner since well and truly serving out his prison time since 2014 for committing ‘Hoddle Street’ in 1987. It remains cathartic to its affected authors.
In hindsight, had Julian Knight possessed a premeditated compos mentis, with sufficient finances (he was broke) and with his car not having been vandalised by the Duntroon senior cadets, well instead of his delusional psychotic mass shooting of random unknown innocent civilians along Hoddle Street close by his family home, another scenario could have well played out…
With the benefit of hindsight, Knight’s retaliation could have manifested instead to him loading up his personal weapons cache and driving from Melbourne back up to Duntroon 670 km north to commit a Fort Hood style payback upon his senior cadet assailants and the establishment – shooting up the joint. Kokoda Company barracks would have become a war zone, Knight the shot dead on RMC campus.
Not justifiable nor excusable either.
But the direct association vengeance factor would have made it a whole different insightful story-line for the media to impart – moreso about exposing Duntroon Bastardisation culture and campaigning to shut that hell hole, rather than narrow-mindedly and cowardly condemning this lost soul as a scapegoat.
History is history and psychosis is a world apart from sanity, irrespective of one’s intelligence.
Whilst Julian from his incarceration is denied Internet access and has no influence on this website, this website is cathartic. Underwriting and contributing to this website, we are ‘The Knighthood’ – Julian Knight’s support base. In no way is any financial benefit derived, requested or ever accepted.
This website is structured in a logical order mostly in a timeline with the menu headers and as well as the order of the drop down webpages underneath. The purpose being to tell readers the stories as they happened. This timeline is consistent with the many recorded accounts obtained from the many legal cases brought. It is also beneficial to readers to better try to comprehend the development of the dreadful random murderous climax that was Hoddle Street, then the judicial process then media process, then various analyses in hindsight and of the ongoing political processes to the present.
This website is a compilation of copies of actual factual legal documents and evidence. It also offers editorial comments, observations, explanations contentions, arguments, rationale and critiques. These are quite distinct and independent from the media scrutiny. We seek to publish content that is factually accurate, else our own views.
It takes a documentary approach on the one hand, then an analytical approach and a persuasive language approach. It is a quest for WHY? We believe this website to be unique both in relation to the record of Melbourne-born Julian Knight’s life (Coincidentally, we are aware of an altogether different unrelated well-known politician in the UK of the same name).
This website serves to be an Internet web-book, as opposed to a printed book. The benefits of this web-book mode of publishing are:
- Significantly lower costs than professional publishing and printing;
- The easy use of our selected free open-source software ‘WordPress’, thus avoiding (a) the costs (b) restrictions (c) learning complexities (d) ongoing reliance upon proprietary digital software – i:e. with the likes of Amazon Kindle, or various e-book software;
- Distribution of this web-book is public, global and free to all readers. Some content is not suitable for young children, namely the details of the Hoddle Street Shooting Spree, and the Duntroon Bastardisation details that Julian Knight endured and documented in his legal battles. We would thus rate it only for Mature audiences aged 16+;
- This web-book is copyright of Julian Knight from 1987 in perpetuity. We have thus tried to enforced the copyright protection proactively by disabling the usually convenient copy/paste functionality across the entire website. Yet in many cases we supply copies of original material in embedded PDF format which is readily downloadable for free by anyone. The purpose of this website is to be the most comprehensive and unique authorised diary/biography of Julian Knight – a disclosure and dissemination of facts, reality, inconvenient truths, wrongdoings, evil, opinion, reviews, analyses and critiques – the lot. It is not for others to use this content. It is the copyright of Julian Knight.
- Unlike a printed book or even an e-book, this web-book online publishing presence enables the content to be dynamic, and updatable anytime. We expect it to remain a work-in-progress indefinitely. This includes adding new content, correcting content, restructuring the content and layout perhaps from time to time to keep up with advances in technology and web-book publishing opportunities and trends. When we make any major changes we shall explain this clearly to readers. We began this web-book in 2019, initially on a different platform, then decided to migrate the content to this dedicated website in 2022. We expect to have nearly all content included by 2027, but we are volunteers and seek no financial benefit in any way, nor will we accept any financial benefit;
- We are limited to publishing this content only in the English language. Out of the world’s approximately 7.8 billion inhabitants, 1.35 billion speak English. The majority aren’t native English speakers, however. About 360 million people speak English as their first language. That’s enough. We are also for the foreseeable future unable to provide a language translation facility, nor provide the content with accessibility to a disabled audience (such as vision impaired).
As at early 2025, this web-book’s current word count statistics are approaching 500,000, and readership hits approaching 78,000.

However, we do not monitor who visits this website. This website does not use cookies and we don’t care who reads it. We seek no financial benefit.
Yet, we do seek to influence using the truth. That is its purpose. This website is contrary to the plethora of media scrutiny that Julian Knight has attracted since 9th August 1987. He had attracted zero media scrutiny before that, like during his subjection to institutional Duntroon Bastardisation that had ravaged for decades prior (back to its inception in 1911), with precious little media scrutiny. It took the ADFA Skype Sex Scandal for anyone to start doing anything about systemic abuse across the Australia Defence Force. Today and still little if anything has changed or been done to root out the perverted culture of bullying and abuse.
Political interference perpetuates natural justice. Government mealy-mouth enquiries into ADF abuse, and the Australian Government’s Defence Force Ombudsman has shown itself to be a biased instrument of government, and it needs to be shut down. Only the Judiciary has the public trust, the independence and legal competence to deal with ADF abuse cases, not the Executive.
We hope this website plays a role to expose the ongoing injustice and the consequences it brings – like the Hoddle Street psychotic rage outburst of carnage.
This website is perpetual copyright of Julian Knight for when he is eventually released from politically motivated indefinite incarceration. Copying content is prohibited.
It is a rebuttal to the fake news on the Internet about Julian Knight, such as the anonymous Wikipedia entries of hate and conjecture. Content is not objective, rather it conveys alternative views to the prejudiced sensationalised opinions, guesswork by hateful ‘know-it-alls’ rife across the mainstream corporate media.
It is why this website exists. The content is backed up remotely daily. The entire website is multi-cloned offshore to safeguard against government shutdown, so good luck trying to shut down free speech; else new cloned strains will re-surface within a day of any such cyber attack, blocking, banning or censorship. This website respects common decency. Any use of profane language in this web-book is strictly restricted to direct quotes in legal evidence.
To respect integrity and literary accountability, the content on this website is fully researched and referenced.
We do not accept comments and have blocked the comment facility. We do not seek dialogue nor debate.
If you disagree with any content, that is for other media and social media platforms. We respect the right to freedom of speech. We do not monitor social media.
In this sense, we just do what other media do – publish. What is different with this media ‘web-book’ is that we have no subscription pay wall, we have obtained and provide the facts, we offer insightful analysis, we seek to not be journalist nor opinionated armchair columnists nor cowards of government intimidation and free-speech censorship, but instead seek to change the entire horrific culture that engendered Hoddle Street.
Universally in the human experience, victims and their families of a mass trauma, at the end of the day just yearn that no-one else go through the same. This is a key objective of this website.
It starts with telling the truth, warts and all, then exposing the underlying cultural causation, not excusing evil.
