I'd hope that Katherine Knight was an extreme outlier. What she did was unbelievably horrendous.
Another thing I've been wondering about in this case is why Erin Patterson went to hospital if she'd put death cap mushrooms in the beef wellington pasties accidentally, i.e. if she didn't know she'd foraged them or included them in the pasties. She seems to have been told that her guests had suspected death cap mushroom poisoning when she was in hospital. So if, as she claims, she ate little of her pastie, then after everyone left, gorged on a cake, felt nauseous and full and made herself sick, and had diarrhoea, why did she bother going to hospital? She is reported to have said it was to get fluids. But surely most people would assume the symptoms were due to overeating or a tummy bug and just drink lots of water, have a rest, etc. until things settled down. Plus, when she was in hospital she was reportedly (according to a nurse) reluctant to receive intravenous fluids or liver-protecting medication (the only guest who survived apparently had a liver transplant) in case she had been poisoned too, or have her children attend hospital in case they'd been poisoned.
I wonder if she went to hospital to register her alibi ("vomiting and diarrhoea") for not dying too.

You can be an eccentric without killing people.

I don't think she typifies Australian women.
I mean how many have skinned their hubby and boiled his head for dinner?
