A six-hour siege west of Brisbane ended with six people dead as police have revealed the property owners were part of an anti-police conspiracy theory community.
Four young police officers went to the town of Wieambilla around 4:30 pm local time on Monday to investigate the disappearance of Nathaniel Train.
They entered the property, approximately 300 kilometres west of Brisbane, when "they were just inundated with gunfire", Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers told media.
