That deep dive into bringing guns into our emergency rooms by way of armed guards is coming up in the second half of this episode.

First though, let's get into the headlines with Justine Landers Handley.

It's Monday the 17th of August.

As to how it works, well the New South Wales government has already capped most license holders at four guns each, ten if you're a primary producer or sporting shooter.
voice-verified
From November though, anything over that can be handed in.
voice-verified
Owners get up to a thousand dollars for certain firearms and from next year up to ten grand for ones of higher value.

Nationally, we do know that, you know, this was an idea that was floated in the wake of the Bondi terrorist event, and there were a bunch of states at the time that came out to say that they were on board and not on board.
voice-verified
New South Wales obviously was one of the first, and we've seen that now come to fruition.
voice-verified
Queensland and the Northern Territory, they're out, they're still out.
voice-verified
South Australia and Tasmania have said that they're open to the idea.
voice-verified

voice-verified
His messaging over the weekend was that we'll have more to say on this.
voice-verified
Um, interestingly, Chris Mins knows that this is a scheme that does not have universal support.
voice-verified
He was quite firm on that idea over the weekend, saying, Well, you know, we're gonna fight for this.
voice-verified
And we have heard from a bunch of different groups, the New South.
voice-verified
South Wales Farmers Association, they said they're against it.
voice-verified
We've also heard from the Shooters, Fishers, and Farmers Party, they say they're against it, and that you know, a simple workaround could be for a gun owner to reach out to a mate to get a gun license and then carry their firearms for him.
voice-verified
So they're just pointing out that while in theory it may be a good idea, there are some particulars that have not been thought out.
voice-verified
And then of course you have the Pauline Hansen element.
