Seated NSW Government is also up to playing dirty tricks . The licence uptake has scared them Politically voter base numbers as well so they in conjunction with the Police are dragging their heals deliberate on processing any new licence application. Families are enrolling other members rapidly so as to avoid cap limits and protect holding heirlooms or collections. Suddenly what was a month wait has turned into eight. Other members of Parliament have raised questions as to why but are being shut down or fed BS statements of staff levels. Suddenly one vote against a Government is turning into Four through Spouses and Kids etc.
Well today we saw some real evidence of N S W Governments actions and inactions of the new Firearms Laws. The impacts on people's lives, future and income was aired via a public Press Conference and YouTube post. Supportive Members of NSW Parliament stood beside members of SIFA (shooting industries Federation of Australia) Had a heap of Gun Shop owners (FFA's) speak to the gathering openly with their personal experience ... how they have over last 10 months of uncertainty lost over 80 percent their Business being unsustainable any longer many pulling the shutters and been left to whither and die on the vine in a state of limbo The NSW State Government has completely stopped short of delivering any of the compensation measures that were initially going to be offered or required to offset their Political directions and ambitions It was extremely sad to hear real stories of genuine hardship and widespread closures of proud multi generational family businesses and the emotional and mental toll and impacts on their lives being experienced at present. Unfortunately here with Government back room controlling content of main stream media it will never get the widespread coverage or message out to the non shooting public that deserves to hear how badly these people are being treated. If this was another occupational industry in Australia being treated this poorly and tactical screws applied to this level by a Government body there would be front page headlines and street level outcry.
