I note that when in government, as the Minister for Social Services just pointed out, the Labor Party introduced mandatory minimum sentences for people smuggling and so I now call upon the Labor Party to similarly support a minimum sentence for trafficking in illegal firearms. The government is determined to keep our community safe through strengthened legislation to combat this trafficking of illegal firearms, and I call upon the Labor Party to support this vital legislation.
