The state government has announced changes to the WA Firearms Act which will see anyone subject to a restraining order, or convicted of a serious violent crime, banned from holding a gun licence. 

It comes after a rise in domestic violence across the state with the deaths of Lynn Cannon, Georgia Lyall and Tiffany Woodley all occurring within the last year. 

A special taskforce will be established after it came as a request from the recent family and domestic violence forum.
