On a normal October day in 2002, an international student walked into his classroom at Australia’s Monash University and shot four students and his professor. For a country that had already put incredibly restrictive gun laws in place a decade earlier, The Monash Massacre was a shock to the Australian public, and forced them to reckon with not just their gun laws, but the lacking policies and structures needed to support their international university students.

Governor Chris Christie spoke of Joe as mentioned in this episode.
