| Prime Minister Tony Abbott is pressuring Labor to back minimum five-year sentences for illegal gun traffickers via the unusual step of reintroducing the same legislation that Labor rebuffed in the Senate just last month.
Labor last month backed the government's tightening of gun trafficking laws by extending penalties to importing firearms parts as well as whole weapons. But the Opposition baulked at a five-year minimum sentence for traffickers on the grounds that it opposes such mandatory sentences generally.
Mr Abbott, after inspecting a cache of seized illegal guns at the Australian Federal Police headquarters in Sydney on Sunday, fronted the media and called on Labor to ditch its Senate veto.
"I'm not saying that the Labor Party is soft on crime, I'm not saying that the Labor Party is soft on national security but . . . you should support this legislation," he said.
