I think Australian voters will realise she’s a very hard left person and will reject her at the election in a few months.

Does this mean she'll continue the insane banning of weapons? I heard they're trying club and knife control... even butter knives! Are the proud and war proven Aussies going to realize that the key to national safety is in controlling criminals and not the implements of their trade?

What you have heard is nonsense.

Some people seem to like making up stories about Australia’s laws that people then believe.

I’m as gun owner myself - and there are well over 1,000,000 firearms in private hands in Australia.

The laws aren’t perfect - we have universal registration and licencing - but they’re nowhere near as bad as people claim.

I doubt she’ll seek to make any changes, but I don’t know - unlike the US, gun laws don’t attract that much attention in Australian politics, and so generally you don’t what a politician thinks about them.
