The royal commission makes a number of very sensible recommendations about this licensing regime, and the National Party will support changes which mean that these processes are improved and that the training for police staff who process these licence applications is adequate. As a country, we need to take all gun violence seriously, but we must also ensure we uphold and protect the rights of law-abiding citizens. Future changes must be targeted at the people perpetrating harm—criminals and those who intend to commit harm—and ensuring the licensing system and processes are adequately robust. National supported the first tranche of firearms legislation, but have not supported further reforms which seek to put more regulation on law-abiding firearms licence holders.
