Firing Range Safety

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:42): On a supplementary: I certainly would appreciate if the minister could do that, and perhaps if he might consider whether the risk of self-harm may still be significant with a person who is licensed.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:42): Normally, a licensed firearms holder owns a firearm, and they would be a risk in any event, even outside of a firing range. What this talks to is the capacity for someone who walks into a firing range off the street without a firearms licence and who could then present a risk to themselves.
