	Gun politics
		The pressure that led to the current gun-registration law began with the Ecole Polytechnique Massacre in Montreal on December 6, 1989.
		Historically, Australia has always had tough restrictions on handguns (requiring shooters to be members of registered gun clubs, and conducting extensive police checks on pistol shooters), whilst rifles and shotguns were considerably less restricted, with the only real restrictions on fully-automatic rifles.
		Two spree killings in Victoria in the 1980s (the "Hoddle Street" and "Queen Street" massacres) saw several states require the registration of all guns, restrict the availability of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.

		And this was a case that both enthralled me, but as I learned years later, when I trawled through the detritus of my professional life, it was probably the case that also sowed the seeds of the development of a depressive illness and so on.
		When I was doing Hoddle Street, I was in my early to mid-30s and to I think, have been given a case of such prominence and importance in terms of the national psyche of Australia, it affected everybody, it certainly affected my ego, definitely.

		Some farmers and professional cullers would remain eligible for ownership of certain semi-automatic rifles and shotguns while the majority of licenced firearm owners would be banned from legally acquiring and owning these firearms for the purpose of recreational target shooting and hunting.
		This resulted in a heated public debate, with on one side, those who wished to avoid a repeat of the massacre at any costs, and on the other, those who felt the proposed laws were likely to be ineffective and overly burdensome for the large number of legitimate owners of firearms affected by the ban.
