Yesterday our government delivered the missing piece to those reforms: A National Firearms Register.

This national register will help police know where firearms are, and who owns them.

It will honour the lives lost on this day in our history by saving lives in the future.

On 28 April, 1996 at Port Arthur, 35 lives were stolen in the worst mass shooting in our nation’s history, an atrocity seared in our collective memory.

We have a crisis of male violence in Australia. It is a scourge in our society and it must end.

To create lasting change, women cannot be expected to solve violence against women alone. It’s time for men to step up.

Australia stands in solidarity with The Wall Street Journal Moscow correspondent Evan Gershkovich one year on from his arrest in Russia.
 
Mr Gershkovich’s ongoing detention by Russian authorities is baseless. 
 
We support those working tirelessly to secure his release.
