About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the Port Arthur shooting on gun control measures in Australia and the ongoing debate about firearm ownership.

It's 30 years today since 35 people died and dozens more were injured in a shooting at Port Arthur, in southern Tasmania. The tragedy led to a mass buyback of more than half-a-million guns and other reforms to gun ownership. Advocates for control say more needs to be done in 2026 to limit the number of guns in the community, but shooters say they feel unfairly treated. - Прошло 30 лет с тех пор, как 35 человек погибли и десятки получили ранения в результате стрельбы в Порт-Артуре на юге Тасмании 28 апреля 1996 года. Трагедия привела к массовому выкупу более полумиллиона единиц оружия и другим реформам в области владения оружием.
