I ask the Minister representing the Prime Minister, in the wake of the bloodshed in Melbourne this morning, why has the Prime Minister done essentially nothing since 1996 to reduce the growing number of semiautomatic handguns circulating in the Australian community, including in the criminal community? Will the Prime Minister call a gun summit with the state leaders to reduce the number of semiautomatic handguns in Australia as the number of semiautomatic long guns was reduced in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre?
