Source: Victoria. Minister for Police. Media Release
"Anyone in possession of unwanted or illegal firearms or weapons has been today urged to hand them in to Victoria Police during a month-long amnesty. Police Minister Bob Cameron and Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe said the Firearms and Weapons Amnesty provided Victorians an opportunity to surrender weapons to police without facing any penalties for possession. "This amnesty is being offered to reduce the overall number of weapons in the community and also help individuals who are unsure about how to properly dispose of firearms,” Mr Cameron said."
