Thanks guys! It was a terrific party!

Well I am busy writing and lobbying to Senators and politicians over our new gun control laws the government is trying to ram through as law across the country.
We are in the fight of our life . Unfortunately small population and no NRA to protect or argue right as or interests.
If Government gets its way be total end of any form of recreational shooting for here.
What a sad sad state of affairs being sold to public as the solution for protecting us against terrorism and deflect attention away from the failings of our homeland securities agencies and our Govt immigration screen failure.

Auzzie, I feel for you.

I'm sure China is chomping at the bit for that to happen. Apparently nothing was learned from the Hamas attack in Israel. There are those who would rather take than make, both locally and internationally. Best just to keep your guns hidden. As they say in America "better to be judged by twelve than carried by six".

Good luck!

Well all I can say is guard your amendment to bare arms you have in place and ask questions as to what extent things are happening in Australian and educate your people as to what lengths and means the Government will do and undertake to get it’s way. Remember things were just the same as good old qUSA pre 1996
They passed a state law in NSW within a week here to ban number of weapons a licence firearm owner or rancher can have from 10 to 4 with zero consultation in a complete knee jerk to the Dec 14 Bondi terror attacks. We were not allowed any semi auto anything inc shotguns but now they extended to anything slide action even 22.
No hand across at buyback..... we know what you have and it’s serial. Expect a knock on door as army will be there demanding it.
I never wanted to live in western version of China or North Korea.

Well just got home after trip down to Gold Coast with Wife to catch up with interstate friends vacationing on the beach strip. Weather hot and superb.
I took a swIm in the surf and waves reliving my beach boy youth. Unfortunately think I damaged my 60yr old eye balls from excess swimsuit failures and boobie exposure that left nothing to imagination.
Worse ways to spend a day

Auzzie,

I am very sorry to hear what’s going on in your country. I was pretty sure that the draconian gun laws that took effect in Australia would be just the beginning. I’m sorry to have been proven right. It seems that the Leftward drift in politics is almost unstoppable.

Even here in the US half the population votes for lunatic Leftist candidates and causes. I cannot understand it. The current pause in the march towards despotism is really only one or two elections away from disappearing. Democrat plans to do away with the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court can wipe clean all the progress we have made. I hope I’m wrong.

I wish I had some advice or encouraging words. The axiom that you can vote your way into Socialism but you’ve got to shoot your way out of it seems to be true.

Well it's new year's Day here 7.00am starting off 2026 with work around the farm. Rudolph firstly happy birthday. I for one always value your input and shared knowledge to this site. Guess you have that attention to detail from your old profession otherwise you fly into a mountain or feature on the investigation shows we all watch.
Like the vote left and shoot your way out
Bit hard to do if you have no guns available. Probably the secret agenda behind the scenes of all the stupidity here at present.
The vote to make it law you can't have any junior shooting programs or fire a gun till 18 yrs and a permit to discharge on a range got overturned but not by a huge margin so that's a clear indication of how stupid thinking and unrealistic uneducated politicians and people can be.
