Trying to smuggle hundreds of firearms parts into Australia—presumably to assemble into working weapons once they arrived—has seen a Brisbane man face court on July 18, 2025, looking at up to 10 years in prison.
The 34-year-old, from Joyner in Queensland, was stopped by Australian Border Force (ABF) officers in June at Brisbane International Airport for an incoming passenger inspection.
