The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT House of Assembly Lee Minister for Police Minister for Emergency Services Minister for Recreation NATIONAL FIREARMS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): The possible development of a National Firearms Management System (NFMS) has been a Ministerial Council—Police Emergency Management—Police (MCPEMP) agenda in recent years. Funding was provided on a pro rata basis by all agencies to develop a business case which was presented to MCPEMP in 2007. The cost of the NFMS was estimated to be $58 million over five years. Due to the estimated costs and some concerns about the capacity of the NFMS to deliver anticipated savings and benefits, MCPEMP has resolved to explore alternatives. The matter was last discussed at MCPEMP in November 2008.
