Simon Corbell announced today that the ACT has joined a data sharing system aimed at firearm related crime.

“While the ACT does not see some of the higher levels of firearm related crime that is emerging in larger jurisdictions, we must continue to work hard to ensure that our laws and information sharing arrangements with other jurisdictions are up-to-date.

“We know that criminal activity does not respect borders and this decision today shows that governments are acting to further bolster arrangements between state and territory policing agencies to better protect members of the community.”
