Coroners Inquest into Fatal Shooting: New Gun Safety Measures Proposed in NSW
After investigating a tragic murder-suicide in Yamba, NSW, Coroner Teresa OSullivan has recommended seven new gun safety measures to the Police Minister and Commissioner. The inquest focused on the mental health struggles of Wayne Smith, who shot his fifteen-year-old son Noah before taking his own life. Despite past mental health concerns, Wayne regained his firearms license six months prior. The coroners recommendations include mandatory mental health checks for license applicants with suicidal ideation history and stricter proof requirements for hunting or pest control permits. These measures aim to prevent guns from falling into risky hands.
