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.

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’ …

A CRAZY proposal by the Queensland Government to introduce late-night club ID scanners to gun clubs is the first real nugget of our Freedom-of-Information request into the whacky inner workings of the national Firearms and Weapons Policy Working Group – or FWPWG.

The idea, floated by Queensland Police, would see the technology used to vet non-licensed individuals who want to visit shooting ranges – when it was designed to be used to deal with drug and alcohol problems in licensed venues that operate past midnight.

It means that juniors, who often can’t get government issued ID, will need to be refused entry.

Putting the significant cost of the scanners aside, there are also ongoing software licensing costs and the fact that they can only be operated by licensed crowd controllers. One Queensland based pub put the cost of managing the scanners to their business as $80,000 a year.

Another described it as “stupid” and “un-Australian”.

This is a proposal that is clearly the brainchild of someone looking for a promotion rather than trying to do the right thing.

This is the FIRST nugget of the FOI which will draw legal challenges which will cost a significant amount to fund.

That’s why it’s CRITICAL that shooters who want to see these proposals exposed and beaten, need to support Politics Reloaded – which you can do by:

1. Joining as a member by clicking here or by
2. Supporting us through Patreon by clicking here.

We will also be setting up a GoFundMe campaign to fund the challenges when they are filed.

In the meantime, we hope Queensland based shooting organisations can use this exclusive reveal to help them fight against a policy environment that is clearly following WA as close as it can.
