I urged anyone in the community with an unregistered or unwanted firearm to take advantage of the NSW Firearm Amnesty from July 1 to September 30, 2018. Barwon residents have another chance to do the right thing and either surrender unwanted or prohibited weapons or become a responsible firearm owner and register their gun or rifle. Firearms and firearm-related items can be surrendered under amnesty arrangements at approved drop-off points, which include licensed firearm dealers, mobile stations, and police stations.

RECEPTION TO HOST VIETNAM WAR VETERANS
I encourage Vietnam veterans to apply to attend the 2018 Premier’s Reception at Government House in August. Each year, the NSW Premier hosts a reception to thank Vietnam War veterans for their service. It complements similar receptions held for veterans of the Korean War and veterans of contemporary conflicts.
This is an opportunity for veterans to come together, to reflect on the bonds of mateship that held them together during the war and to pay respect to those who did not return. The reception on August 11 is at Government House, Sydney. Online applications for veterans across NSW interested in attending will open on Monday, May 14. Applications close June 4 ahead of the ballot on June 8. Invitations will be sent to those successful in the ballot draw.
