UPDATE: Before we start on the hearings, we have just FILED AN APPEAL with the Australian Review Tribunal in relation to our appeal on the federal government’s refusal to reveal the outcomes of discussions our firearm registries have been having on firearm policies.

Thank you very much to those of you who donated to the fight – but we still need more to be able to continue the fight with our barrister. If you’d like to support the work, then here is the donation link: https://politicsreloaded.com/donate/

IN THIS EPISODE, we look at the hearings held by the West Australian Parliament on its review on that state’s shambolic new Firearms Act.

We cover the hearings by the various groups including those involved in community safety, conservation, health issues, traditional owners, and shooting interests across farmers and shooting organisations.

One thing which stood out for us is that Shooting Australia (not to be confused with SSAA) was not invited to the hearings despite the fact that they are the organisation that sends our target shooting teams to the Olympics.

The only session yet to come is the one for WA Police who will have a lot of questions put to them on the challenges now facing WA shooters.

We take you through what each of these groups said, including the WA Mental Health Commission which refused to acknowledge the legitimate use of firearms. We’ll cover the hearings involving traditional owners and the medical community said that 80% of doctors will now not support the mental health process.

We even heard evidence that former Police Minister, Paul Papalia, told a group that ‘getting a shooting licence would be just like getting a drivers licence’.

One of the groups even argued for the return of semi automatic firearms.

We’ll be covering some of these hearings in more detail later on, which is why it pays to subscribe to this channel. That way you’re guaranteed of not missing those episodes when they come out – and it’s entirely free.

OUR FIGHT to expose what the various state and territorial registries have in store for us has taken a huge step – with our intention to FILE PROCEEDINGS with the Federal Administrative Review Tribunal.

The proceedings will aim to overturn the refusal by the federal government to disclose what the registries have been working on through the Firearms and Working Policy Working Group (FWPWG).

Our argument is that the federal government cannot rely on FOI exemptions because they do not administer the nation’s gun laws, other than at the border and on Commonwealth property.

The fact is the government is simply trying to hide this information from us because disclosing what crazy new policies they have in mind would be embarrassing for them to have to defend in the court of public opinion.

The costs of this fight start with the filing fee of well over $1k plus the specialist lawyer we need to hire to run the case.

YOUR DONATION will help us cover the cost of doing this. To donate, simply go to our patreon.com/PoliticsReloaded

WE LOOK AT what, if anything, the Porepunkah shootings may mean for gun laws in Victoria – and the disturbing negativity that some have towards law enforcement.

PLUS we look at the freezing of Lady Luxury’s GoFundMe campaign – and why she is apparently creating history … because ‘she’s a journalist’ …
