Yes, gun control laws got much stricter in Oz about 20 years ago after there was a mass shooting in Tasmania. Since then because of the crackdown on gun ownership, coupled with the massive increase in nonwhite immigration (both of which of course are part of the global socialist agenda), crime of all sorts of course has exploded.

Australia's gun laws are dictatorially strict - which means that criminals continue to enjoy unfettered access to illegal firearms of every description while the law-abiding citizen is completely unarmed and defenceless. But there's no need to worry because our politicians and "celebrities" constantly remind us that we are living in the "best" and "safest" country in the whole wide world...
The swarms of "Middle Eastern crime gangs" probably pack more combined small arms firepower than Australia's pitifully insignificant military. And I'm definitely not joking. That's
part of the reason the Federal and State police "services" never tackle them in earnest.
Following the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre in which semi-automatic rifle wielding nutcase Martin Bryant killed 35 people and wounded a further 23, the then Prime Minister John Howard introduced proscriptive firearms laws which
completely disarmed a society which was already essentially gun-free. For anyone who's interested, here's a summary of Little Johnny's "gun laws", courtesy of the Library of Congress:

Coincidentally enough, from 1996 onwards the short-arsed, oversized spectacle wearing wimp opened Australia's doors to thousands upon thousands of Negroes and Arabs. Prior to the election of Howard's "conservative" government in March of that year Australia was almost entirely Negro-free. We had a small handful of American and British-born blacks (many of the former being - surprise, surprise - basketball "imports" for the NBL) and that was about it. But Little Johnny and his imbecilic Immigration Ministers Philip "The Fossil" Ruddock and Amanda "Erection Deflator" Vanstone quickly remedied this by switching the focus of Australia's migrant intake to Africa and the Middle East. Well, didn't that piece of demographic wizardry work out wonderfully...
The punchline in all of this is that much of "conservative" Australia has largely forgotten (or conveniently chosen to forget) that it was Howard and his Liberal Party cronies - not the leftist, union-dominated Labor Party - who were responsible for introducing the Negro pestilence en masse. Instead, the brainwashed hard-core "Liberal party faithful" actually believe that Howard's prime ministership was an era of productively assimilative immigration and that the sole blame for the nation's "ethnic problems" should be laid at the feet of Labor and the Greens.
