Extend gun buyback, Opposition says, as millions of dollars sit unclaimed

WA’s gun buyback scheme should remain open until next year, the Opposition says, with tens of millions of dollars unused in the program with just 10 days to go.

With $8.3 million paid out of the $63 million allocated, Opposition Leader Shane Love said the buyback should be extended beyond the end of this month, to enable firearm owners to understand the new laws in practice.
