The Prime Minister and Queensland Premier are at loggerheads of the Commonwealth's gun buyback scheme. Anthony Albanese has called on the state government to justify its position, but David Crisafulli is intent on going his own way.
00:00Queenslanders answering the call and giving up their arms after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996.
00:09The Nationals Premier of the day backed the Howard Government's gun buyback.
00:14I felt it very important that Queensland honour what the Prime Minister was seeking to do.
00:21Times have changed. Queensland and the Commonwealth are now at odds.
00:25Queensland won't be going down the path of gun buyback because it doesn't address anti-Semitism and hate
00:32and it doesn't focus on keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists and criminals.
00:37I disagree with his position respectfully and I don't think it's in the interests of Queenslanders or the nation to not have national uniform laws.
00:48The State Opposition claims the Premier is bowing to internal party pressure and is afraid of losing votes to One Nation.
00:55He's scared of his own backbench. He's scared of Pauline Hanson. He's too scared to do the right thing for Queensland.
01:02Premier Krissa Foley, particularly as the leader of a state with such a high number of firearms, has a responsibility to keep Queenslanders safe.
01:10We are going to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists and criminals.
01:15One regional MP says the buyback targets responsible gun owners rather than criminals.
01:21There's plenty of ways you can make things safer around firearm laws, but the Federal Government's missed the mark.
01:26And just, I think it's, you know, legislation made just purely for optics and for political purposes.
01:32The Government will introduce proposed laws to State Parliament next month, aimed at clamping down on anti-Semitism and hate speech.
01:41But it hasn't revealed more details or, if any, will be made available before the legislation is introduced.
01:48I think it's official.
01:49There's no matter.
01:51There's no matter.
01:53You may have to be made available until the press conference is right.
01:56No.
01:57Let's try it.
01:58There's no matter.
02:00You may have to do more details.
02:02Now, I'll be able to get to the CFS you need to be able to get to the F-5, so people have to get to the CFS you need to public.
02:07Just add to the CFS you need to be able to stop.
02:08It's a very important thing.
02:10You mentioned that, that there's only one issue or two weeks ago.
02:13Right.
02:14The CFS, you need to go through, so you can actually get to the CFS, right?
