Crime by Ellen Whinnett Premium Content Subscriber only Exclusive: Australia still does not have a national firearms register, 25 years after the states and territories signed up to it. As the 25-year anniversary of the Port Arthur massacre approaches, a News Corp investigation has revealed the National Firearms Agreement, signed in the days following the massacre, is riddled with loopholes. A number of changes agreed by the states and territories in response to the massacre, in which 35 people were killed and 20 injured by a lone gunman at Port Arthur in Tasmania, have never been implemented. And some laws have since been watered-down as the states and territories caved in to demands from pro-gun lobbyists.
