NSW: Howard must crack down on gun importation: Beazley

KIM BEAZLEY says Australia needs tougher surveillance of shipping containers to stop
the flow of illegal guns into the country.

The opposition leader says the 10th anniversary of the Port Arthur massacre is a stark
reminder of the need to stop the importation of illegal guns.

He says statistics show only 10 per cent of shipping containers arriving in Australia
are inspected by customs officials.

He wants that to change and says it's a challenge for the PM to tackle.
