Mr McClelland
asked the Attorney-General, in writing, on 8 February 2005:
(1) How many individual firearms were legally imported during 2003-2004.
(2) How many individual handguns were legally imported during 2003-2004.
(3) How many individual firearm parts were legally imported during 2003-2004.
(4) How many individual hand gun parts were legally imported during 2003-2004.
(5) What sum was spent advertising the National Handgun Buyback program during 2003-2004.
(6) Why did the administered expenses for the Handgun Buyback Program increase from $224,000 in 2003 to $84,407,000 in 2004 as reported on page 148 of his department’s report for 2003-2004.
Mr Ruddock (Attorney-General)
—The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:
(1) 36,980 individual firearms were legally imported during 2003-2004.
(2) 8,714 individual handguns were legally imported during 2003-2004.
(3) Customs does not record data on the number of individual firearms parts imported, but rather the number of consignments imported and their total value. In 2003-2004 there were 1,616 consignments of firearms parts legally imported, with a Customs Value of $19,920,382.
(4) Customs does not record data on the number of individual handgun parts imported, but rather the number of consignments imported and their total value. In 2003-2004 there were 131 consignments of handgun parts legally imported, with a Customs Value of $1,083,190.
(5) A total of $150,436 was spent advertising the National Handgun Buyback program during 2003-2004. Advertising took the form of the development and maintenance of the National Handgun Buyback website and development of communication resources for State and Territory implementation of the program.
(6) The increase in administered expenses for the National Handgun Buyback between 2002-03 and 2003-04 reflects the formal commencement of the Buyback in most States and Territories on 1 July 2003. Prior to the formal commencement date, jurisdictions were not able to receive surrendered firearms, parts and accessories, and were not able to claim reimbursement and administration payments from the Commonwealth. The expenditure in 2002-03 represents administrative costs incurred in establishing the Buyback.
