IN THIS EPISODE, we look at the troubling advice from GoFundMe that the donations it received to help WA shooters fight the new gun laws in court, seem to have been withdrawn by the ‘beneficiary’, who can only be Kate Fantinel. That’s $178k worth of missing money – consisting of donations up to $3,000!

This is a significant concern, because it means shooters of WA will not only not see any legal action taken for them, but the money they donated in good faith seems to have disappeared forever.

We wrote to Kate to ask her what happened to the money and even invited her onto our program. However, no response has been received. That’s why we’re worried that the money might have disappeared forever. If we’re wrong, then all Kate needs to do is explain what’s happened.

We also explain that while the next WA state election is three years away, there is still hope for shooters who are willing to roll their sleeves up and get behind organisations like ours who in the long haul.

Yes, it’s a long-term fight, but it’s one we’re here for.

WE LOOK AT why SSAA National kicked their Queensland branch out of the nest and the tug of war over members' funds, claims of unpaid monies. We discuss what it means for SSAA members who travel interstate and for the Belmont facility being used for the 2032 Olympics.

We show you the public statements released by SSAA National and SSAA Queensland.

Plus, nearly a year on, we look at how shooters who donated to Lady Luxury’s dubious fundraiser CAN get their MONEY BACK!

You will remember she raised over $178,000 to "fight WA gun laws" and take "legal action”.

Instead, she ran off to Texas without telling her audience of her intentions, only to make the surprise announcement on Easter Sunday.

Kate has made no public offering refunds, as has instead been busy putting out videos showing where she is now spending her time and money – while still keeping the fundraiser going.

We tell shooters who were stung by Kate’s campaign how put their claims in - but they ONLY HAVE A FEW DAYS LEFT to do it.

That’s because GoFundMe has a 12 month limit for refunds, which, for many shooters, comes up in January

THE SHOOTING INDUSTRY FOUNDATION OF AUSTRALIA (SIFA) was once a powerful political force under CEO Rod Drew.

He ran successful campaigns that pushed the political pendulum back in our favour.

However, with his passing, any political capital they had under their new CEO, James Walsh, has been squandered – and we look at why.

SIFA was even given the opportunity to steer the National Gun Conference – the very platform we needed to unite the shooting sports – but decided against working with others to help focus on the industry’s political problems.

SIFA says it is the National Peak Body representing the Australian shooting industry. No it isn’t. Not by a long shot.

If it really wants to earn that title, it needs to change its focus to work across political boundaries, rebuild relationships with shooting orgs and develop a clear and deliverable political narrative for upcoming state, territory and federal elections.

Without that, it is the umbrella for some major wholesalers and importers – but that’s as far as the pussy-footing can go.

We look at what SIFA needs to do. Importantly, we reckon the ‘fixes’ shouldn’t be that difficult to put in place. Getting rid of Walsh would be a good start.
