Gun News Australia: the latest news for Aussie shooters

WITH QUEENSLAND VOTERS going to the polls this weekend, we look at why shooters up north need to back pro-gun parties such as Katters Australian Party and One Nation ahead of the majors.

Even if you don’t have that choice, you can still put the LNP ahead of Labor and the Greens – which is the best way of sending a message to the Labor government that they need to put more effort into looking after shooters.

This advice is in line with the information being put out by Shooters Union Australia, and with the problems that shooters around the nation are having with wall-to-wall Labor governments, with Tasmania and the NT being the exceptions.

You can see the Shooters Union Australia’s voting advice at: https://shootersunion.com.au/

We also cover the case of the ‘exploding guns’, and the $50,000 donation by SSAA WA to The Nationals.

WA SHOOTERS are in for expensive new safe requirements. The new laws will require safes that will cost a minimum of $3k and be so heavy – well over 300kg at a minimum – they’ll need a few mates or cranes to move them.

Forget to change the safe, and WA shooters will be up for a $5k fine for the first offence, and jail for a second offence.

WE LOOK at the new requirements which are completely impractical – and what shooters can do about this, with a state election coming up in March. There’s no doubt about it: the WA Labor government NEEDS TO GO.

PLUS we chat about the huge gun rally being organised for Perth on Saturday 8 February. If you are against what the government has done, then this is how you can fix the problem.

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.

THE ANIMAL JUSTICE PARTY’S Georgie Purcell has shacked up with Federal Labor Senator, Josh Burns.

What hasn’t been revealed – until now – is that her new beau, Burns, is the co-chair of an anti-gun group in Canberra.

It’s a move that also gives the tattooed anti-duck campaigner the opportunity to land another job in politics if she doesn’t get re-elected at the 2026 Victorian State Election.

WE ALSO cover the imposition of a new tax on firearms and ammunition in California which we covered back in September. The tax is now law, in a move that people like Burns could push for – as goods and services taxes are a federal responsibility.

PLUS, we question whether it is in our interests for shooting organisations to be part of consultation committees where they are required to enter into confidentiality agreements. That’s because it means governments can silence shooting organisations – by offering cosy meetings with party pies, sandwiches and orange juice.

We’ve been losing the war against bad laws and policies for decades – and it’s time our shooting organisations pulled out of those committees and spoke up against what is happening to us all.

THE CORPORATE WATCHDOG, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, has proposed to deregister rogue shooting group, the National Shooting Council.

The move would end the organisation’s existence, and follows over a year of infighting and wild allegations against shooting organisations and individuals.

While ASIC has not yet decided if it is going to proceed with the proposal, the move raises major questions about how it managed to get into that situation.

WE also look at the gun control organisations who are riding on the back of taxpayer funds with an office in the US White House.

PLUS we critique the change in the way the Western Australian Liberal Party is pitching itself to shooters, just three months out from the WA State Election.
