Morrison, on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, accused an influential minor political party of trying to "sell Australia's gun laws to the highest bidders" by asking the U.S. gun lobby for donations.
Morrison said his conservative Liberal Party would disadvantage One Nation candidates under Australia’s preferential voting system at general elections due in May by refusing to share votes. “This is a decision which is based on our strong view about the sanctity of Australia’s gun laws and to ensure that at no stage that those things should ever be put at risk,” Morrison told reporters.
She quoted an Australian state premier who said almost a decade before the mass shooting in the ruins of a 19th century Tasmanian prison: “It will take a massacre in Tasmania before we get gun reform in Australia.” “There is no question in my mind that Martin Bryant was the only person responsible for the murders of 35 innocent lives,” Hanson told reporters, referring to the convicted killer.
