This threat of illegal firearms is a threat to the safety of every Australian. The vast majority of gun crimes—the vast majority: over 90 per cent—are committed with illegal weapons. They come into this country illegally. They are smuggled, as hundreds of Glocks were smuggled during the Labor government. They come in here, smuggled, and we have to stop it. And we know that strong mandatory sentences will send a message to the terrorists, and we have asked Labor to support that. And they will not. They say they have a principle of objection. Well, under the Rudd government, Labor supported—indeed, proposed—mandatory sentences for people smugglers, then, in government.
