Australia marks Port Arthur anniversary with national gun register reform

The federal government has announced plans for a national firearms register, almost three decades on from the Port Arthur massacre that saw the country's gun laws drastically changed. Some $160 million will be spent across four years on the measure, which Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus says will increase community and police safety even further.
