Six people, including two police officers, have been shot dead
Police said they had been searching for a missing person in Wieambilla - 270km (168 miles) west of Brisbane, Queensland - when they were fired upon, Qazet.az reports.
After a lengthy siege, three suspects were fatally shot by police. A motive remains unclear, authorities said.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called it a "heartbreaking day" for Australia.
Four Queensland police officers initially went to the property on Monday afternoon local time, after a request from New South Wales police.
