39445 (2024). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Associate Minister of Justice: What feedback, if any, has she had from the firearms community on reviewing the Firearms Registry?

Hon Nicole McKee: I have received a significant amount of feedback from the firearms community regarding the Government's commitment to review the firearms registry. Notably, a large proportion of the feedback expressed discontent with legislative changes made to the Arms Act 1983 in 2019 and 2020. Some feedback also expressed unhappiness with the fact that consultation for the 2019 law reform was limited to just three days.
