I first heard that saying when I was a kid in the early seventies, after my dad chopped the head off a red-bellied black snake with a spade. Dad tossed the head and body into the bush behind the house, and for at least an hour afterwards, the headless body writhed by itself. Dad explained it as reptiles have a lower metabolism, needing less oxygen, and it was the same as a chicken running off when its head is chopped off.
So, the last time Australia had a school shooting (to my knowledge) was Orara High School, in 1991. 1996 was the Port Arthur massacre. To us, ‘a good guy with a gun’ is called a police officer.
