The Western Australian (WA) government is currently overhauling its firearm regulations, a move that could lead to the revocation of firearm licenses for individuals involved in domestic violence. Simultaneously, the government is planning to establish both a task force and a “lived experience advisory group” to combat the rising issue of family violence.
Premier Roger Cook clarified that the task force will provide guidance to the government, while the lived experience group will prioritise the voices of victims in the policymaking process, ensuring their perspectives are central to the discussion.
