Victorian police could be granted new powers to search and seize weapons without a warrant under new laws introduced to parliament by the Allan government.

The Terrorism (Community Protection) and Control of Weapons Amendment Bill 2024 was briefly discussed in the Legislative assembly on Nov. 26 and is set to return for further debate on Nov. 27.

Police Minister Anthony Carbines provided a brief explanation of the Bill to the parliament.
