Very poor coverage by the commercial news services (especially Nine who unlike the other two, actually have a presence in Darwin) so far? Honestly if something like this happened in Sydney or Melbourne, the networks would probably suspend programming for rolling coverage! ---

According to how Australia and the US measures these kinds of gun attacks, this is a ‘mass shooting’ which has broken the spell since Port Arthur. Edit: Never mind, forgot about Margaret River. ---
