Gun numbers on the rise 30 years on from Port Arthur
This week marks 30 years 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.
Australia hadn’t seen a mass shooting anywhere near that scale, until the attack at Bondi in December last year, when 15 people were killed.
That attack has renewed gun control debate and reforms across the country.
