Hon STUART NASH (Minister of Police): The criminals who hold these guns were warned that police have a renewed focus on gangs and other criminals who unlawfully hold firearms. Almost 2,700 firearms have been seized from gangs and other offenders since March last year during search warrants, vehicle stops, and call-outs to family harm incidents. There have been 369 firearms-related offences since the end of the firearms amnesty and buy-back, of gang members and associates. In 2018-19, there were 643; in 2017-18, there were 642 offences under the Arms Act. That compares to almost 2,000 offences in 2017-18 by non-gang members. That's also why this side of the House voted for substantially harsher penalties for gun crime.
