The Attorney-General's Department released meeting minutes from a multi-day Firearms and Weapons Policy Working Group held 10-11 March 2021. The working group discussed implementation of the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Amendment (Firearms and Weapons) Regulations 2021, including gel ball blasters regulation. Key agenda items included Queensland's response to a Queensland Audit Office report on firearms regulation, focusing on modernising the state's weapons licensing system and transitioning from hard-copy to digital dealer disposal forms. NSW presented updates on the Firearms Regulation 2017 and implementation of illegal manufacturing offences. Queensland identified disqualifying offences—particularly domestic violence—as a legislative focus area. Substantial content has been redacted as section 22 (irrelevant to scope of request), limiting visibility into other discussion items and deliberations.
