Buyback looms as premier backs 'good people' with guns

Key points

• Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has said he will absolutely not take part in the national gun buyback, arguing good people should keep their weapons. NSW police stations in six locations will accept surrendered guns from November 2, with 34 more sites opening from December 1.
• NSW is the only state so far to sign up, and the scheme will compensate people for firearms they can no longer legally own.
• NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley said fewer guns in the community means a safer community.
