this new Department
will employ a heap more public servants
and the cost or running the department
will increase year after year

Federal government commits $160 million for creation of national firearms register
In short: The federal government has committed $160 million to implement a national firearms register after state and territory leaders agreed to the idea last year.
The register will be a central hub of data from each state and territory, allowing near real-time information sharing across the country.
What's next? States and territories now need to reform their firearms management systems, with the aim to have the register fully operational within four years.
Police officers will soon be able to access near real-time information on firearms and who owns them after the federal government committed hundreds of millions of dollars to implement a national firearms register.
State and territory leaders gave the green light to set up the register at the national cabinet in December last year — the most substantial update to Australia's firearm management systems in almost 30 years.
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has now announced next month's federal budget will include a spend of $161.3 million over the next four years to establish the register.
"Once established, police will know where firearms are, who owns them, and what other risks to the community and police may exist," Mr Dreyfus said.
