Senator ANNING (Queensland) (16:35): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator ANNING: The National Firearms Agreement was a travesty—simply a left-wing plot to undermine the constitutional rights of the states to independently legislate their own gun laws. Like the $400 million registered buyback after Port Arthur, the NFA has been of zero value in reducing firearm related crime, because terrorists and criminals do not buy registered guns. Restrictions on licensed firearm ownership by law-abiding citizens do not target those who own and misuse firearms illegally. So this motion, like the policy to which it refers, makes no sense. You might as well try to crack down on unlicensed, dangerous drivers by increasing the difficulty of the driving test. The PRESIDENT: The question is that motion No. 1253 be agreed to.
