The conservatives won Australia's election over the weekend. The coalition of the Liberal and National Parties ousted the Labor Party.*
Crime was not the central issue, but I was curious what the new government's approach would be. The coalition's crime policy is here. The overall tone is a tough-on-crime one.

*The Liberal Party is the conservative party. You have to look north,
not south, for straightforwardly named parties. The ousted party is
Labor, not Labour.

I find point 3 interesting regarding gun crime, especially point 3(c).
Are the Liberals (or their coalition) colloquially refered to as "Tories"?
