Australian authorities refuse gun licence for boy photographed saluting swastika flag

Pro-Nazi publications and guns were discovered by police in the home of a former gun dealer, an Australian court has heard. The revelation came as Dale O'Sullivan failed in his third bid to win a gun license for his 13-year-old son Tim, who was only nine when he accidentally shot and killed his brother Christopher at his father's farm. The tribunal ruled that granting Tim a junior firearms license would be against the public interest. The judge described O'Sullivan, who has convictions for assault with a weapon and stalking, as "obsessive and anti-social". Police found photographs of Tim saluting a swastika flag in a property owned by his father.
