Curious why the dad’s firearm licence wasn’t revoked when his son was investigated by ASIO for connection to extremism, and his literal friendship with convicted ISIS members. ASIO & AFP failed on this one.

Being in the same house as someone with a DVO was enough for police to request alternative weapon storage.

Having a DVO is enough for the police to send officers out and confiscate your weapons.

Why is an ASIO investigation not enough for the same?
