Permanent national firearms amnesty
The Australian Government has partnered with Crime Stoppers Australia to launch a permanent national firearms amnesty to keep Australians safe while ensuring those with a legitimate need to access firearms are able to do so.
Assistant Minister for Customs, Community Safety and Multicultural Affairs, Jason Wood said, the amnesty, which begins today, allows anyone in Australia to hand in unregistered or unwanted firearms that could otherwise fall into the wrong hands.
“Unregistered firearms are a threat to our community. They are difficult to trace and can fall into the hands of criminals to commit terrible crimes while avoiding police detection,” Assistant Minister Wood said.
