Gel Blasters

343 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (15 October 2020). How–if at all–were the concerns of the gel blaster industry addressed by the minister or the minister's office before the making of the firearms regulation regarding gel blasters?

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services):

The decision to declare gel blasters a regulated imitation firearm was an operational decision of the Commissioner of Police, in his capacity of the Registrar of Firearms under the Firearms Act 2015.
