The Police Ministers Council met on three occasions (3 April, 9 June, and 23 November 2023) under Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus's chairmanship to coordinate national law enforcement policy. The primary disclosed decision concerned the National Firearms Register: all jurisdictions endorsed the policy framework and agreed the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission would develop costed implementation options for National Cabinet consideration, with ammunition tracking included as an additional capability. States and territories retained responsibility for existing licence and registration services. The Council also scheduled discussion of cybercrime, Closing the Gap initiatives, family violence matters, criminal street gangs, and the Australian Crime Commission review across subsequent meetings. Terms of Reference for the permanent Police Ministers Council were developed for consideration at the June 2023 full meeting. These are meeting agendas and decision records rather than legal advice documents, with no significant redactions evident in the excerpts released.
