Thirty years after Port Arthur, are we doing enough about gun control?
from SBS News In Depth
It's 30 years today since 35 people died and dozens more were injured in a shooting at Port Arthur, in southern Tasmania. The tragedy led to a mass buyback of more than half-a-million guns and other reforms to gun ownership. Advocates for control say more needs to be done in 2026 to limit the number of guns in the community, but shooters say they feel unfairly treated.
