WAR IN THE WEST: Nats thumb their nose at the Libs over gun laws

11/15/24 • 23 min

Gun News Australia: the latest news for Aussie shooters

A PUBLIC FIGHT between the Liberal and National parties in WA has created an opportunity for shooters to regain some of the ground they lost in recent times against the state’s draconian gun laws.

After making it clear that the National Party will not form a coalition government with the Liberals unless it committed to repealing the new laws, Liberal leader, Libby Mettam, held a media conference to refute the claim.

However, sources from both sides of parliament have described her move as ‘train wreck’, leaving several Liberal MPs at odds with their leader.

IN THIS EPISODE, we take you through that fight, and why the Liberals best hope for next year’s WA State Election is to dump their current leader.

If the cards fall the right way, this could create a significant opportunity for shooters to retaliate against the Cook Government – and wind back the clock on what has been happening.

A win in the west would send a key message to shooters in other states – but getting there will require a bit of luck in having things line up that way.

We also suggest shooters check out WA journo, Ben Harvey’s, take on the state’s gun policy shamble. Check it out - from the 2:40 mark by clicking here:

GUN SHOWS, Queensland state election – and Tasmania Police eyes WA style laws

WE COVER what the outcome of the Queensland State Election means for shooters – and why the Greens lost ground.

PLUS we give a run down of the 2024 SSAA Shot Expo in Melbourne, which was the first one in five years – with a similar show being lined up in Brisbane next May by the Shooters Union Australia.

WE also look at changes Tasmania Police are looking at making to the firearm licence application form – which will make it five times as long as an application for getting a driver’s licence! There are questions which look like they are modelled on what has been happening in WA – so now is the time for shooters EVERYWHERE to make their voices heard.

TasPol are seeking feedback on the proposed form by 21 November – so HERE’S YOUR CHANCE to have your say. Find out more about the changes by clicking here.

TASMANIA: Dud politicians, vague gun laws and gun trafficking - all in the same room

WE CHAT with the SFFP and SUA’s Phil Bigg, about the political problems continuing to face Tasmanian shooters.

We discuss the fight over antiques, firearms trafficking, and the vagueness of Tasmania’s firearm laws.

These are matters that Phil has fought hard to bring to the attention of Labor, the Liberals and the Jackie Lambie Network.

We run through the obscene changes Tasmania Police are proposing to make to firearm licence applications, and to any shooter wanting to renew their licence.

PLUS we look at the lie that police minister, Felix Ellis, said to shooters prior to the recent Tasmanian State Election when he committed the Liberal Government to ‘supporting law abiding firearm owners’ – when he’s done the opposite.

If you’re a shooter in Tasmania, help Phil by backing the SFFP (Tas only) and Shooters Union Australia. Don’t forget - SUA membership comes with insurance!

If you’re from a Tasmanian based shooting organisation, this interview should explain why you need to get behind Phil at the next election.

He’s genuine, passionate – and he knows his way around Tasmania’s political system.
