## Resource

A 76-year-old Tasmanian man, Grant Whelan, is recovering from a brutal home invasion that left him injured, his home in ashes, and 15 firearms stolen — but he’s determined to stay in his beloved Coles Bay. Three men now face serious charges, while the community rallies around him with donations and support. The attack has reignited fierce debate over Tasmania’s gun laws, with police data showing a 50% surge in firearm-related robberies and a 19% spike in firearm assaults. Despite warnings from the Police Commissioner, the current government refuses to cap gun ownership. Tasmanian Labor vows to push for balanced reforms that prioritize public safety without undermining lawful gun use.
