Nicole McKee: Associate Justice Minister on the Government's new gun law changes - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Associate Justice Minister admits some ideas in her Arms Act rewrite didn't make it past the cutting room floor. 

She's revealed details of changes to the 1983 Act - delivered under an ACT-National coalition agreement.

It doesn't include Nicole McKee's bid to allow greater access to military-style semi-automatic weapons.

She says she's also not ruling out scrapping the gun registry, which she didn't get this time.

"I haven't changed my mind on the gun registry - I still want to scrap it, but I did not win the argument. Hence, we had to agree to disagree with the coalition partnership."
