As many of us know, it led to big changes to Australia’s gun laws - an issue that’s come back into focus following the antisemitic terror attack at Bondi in December. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll look at what happened at Port Arthur, the changes it led to, and what’s happened since. Squiz Recommends: Reading: The ABC’s article about the shootings and interview with Walter Mikac… Watching: This John Oliver series on gun control legislation, featuring an interview with former PM John Howard… It’s still worth a watch, all these years later.
