    Background · from our historical context

How we got here

The **Liquor Act 1992 (Queensland)** set the state’s licensing framework for premises serving alcohol, while the **Weapons Act 1990 (Queensland)** provided the statutory basis for regulating weapons. Those laws predated the national firearms reforms adopted after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. On **28 April 1996**, a gunman killed 35 people at Port Arthur, Tasmania.

The agreement established national principles for firearm licensing, registration and restrictions on certain firearms; Queensland’s **Weapons Act 1990** was later amended to implement the state’s obligations. Queensland’s criminal law is set out in the **Criminal Code Act 1899**.
