Transcript

00:00What we need is a review of the 1996 Port Arthur Firearms Agreement, but also some strengthening

00:10of gun laws along the lines of abolition of recreational hunting licences, and that was

00:17the very licence that the shooter at Bondi had.

00:20We need to minimise the number of guns any person can have.

00:25We need to minimise the number of guns that are stored in urban or suburban areas, and

00:32we need to ban the kind of guns that were used in that mass shooting at Bondi.

00:37There is no place for somebody in the civilian population to have a high-powered rifle that

00:43carries a magazine of up to five rounds that uses military ammunition.

00:48These things need to be rectified, and this is the way forward for the national government,

00:54for the national opposition and also for the states and the territories.
