handguns in Australia?

yeh did you see the way they depicted alice springs (which is apperently off a dirt road directly north of sydney) with dirt roads and rundown buildings, i was half expecting someone to start up a game of knifey spooney

"lol, more like the idiots who made the film didn't research Australia AT ALL. "

Seems the only idiot is you.

Rifles, shotguns and handguns can be obtained if you have a gun licence and a valid reason why you need one. Semi-automatic weapons are illegal.

In the country (outback) most farmers have one or more weapons.

This information is readily available if you did any sort of research. Maybe you should try that next time, before you try to show us how witty you are?

What is more interesting about that scene is that it is a Law Enforcement Officer (the 'Guide') that is helping them get weapons.
