THE ANIMAL JUSTICE PARTY'S grubby preference deals at the 2022 Victorian state election resulted in the election of their lead candidate, Georgie Purcell, which was an outcome bound to alienate the party at this year’s election. Her election saw the creation of a parliamentary committee that recommended banning duck hunting, which only failed because of the intervention of the Premier’s office. It also saw the scrapping of plans to build major new infrastructure for the shooting sports, which was a major blow to Victorian shooters.

Purcell is now shacked up with Labor MP Josh Burns, raising questions about whether she might be looking to continue her parliamentary career on the Labor ticket at this year’s Victorian State Election.

Don't forget, Georgie also used to work for the United Workers Union - which has strong links to Labor.

Georgie has openly stated she "will not stop until duck shooting is banned," making her intentions clear.

Burns has form on firearms too. His response to firearm policy concerns in Albo’s recent change to federal gun laws (mostly at the border), turned out to be a seemingly AI-generated (or partly generated) reply that failed to satisfy us that Burns has taken the concerns of shooters seriously.

In fact, Josh is the co-chair of Parliamentary Friends of Firearm Safety, which has links to the Alannah and Madeline Foundation – and which has nothing to do with firearm safety, but rather lobbying on firearm laws.

With November's Victorian election approaching, every shooter needs to understand what's at stake and how to protect their sport.

Not only is it important to vote for the right party, but you need to direct your own preferences away from parties like the AJP. We’ll show you how to do that as the election approaches later this year.

Finally, can you please help us? We need to be able to send this content to more and more shooters – so make sure you’re on our email list & get your mates to do the same as well!

It’s free, easy to opt out and would be a huge help if you can do that. To sign up, just go to https://politicsreloaded.com/email-list/
