I have often thought that Boating and Fisheries patrol officers should possibly be allowed to carry revolvers or at least tasers.
Wasn't their some incident some years ago where two Fisheries officers allegedly drowned in some part of north Queensland but which many people suspect was actually a case of them being murdered?
If they had had firearms these two may still be alive today.
I can't remember the exact details but if someone else does please feel free to elaborate on it.
