We don't know, Baron 'cause the Tasmanian Tories are keeping what they intend to do a great big SECRET. I'd suggest you take your gripes and whinges to them and ask them. Perhaps you could ask them why they are keeping everything a great big SECRET while you're at it.
We do know what they're doing Brian they posted it on the Tasmanian Liberals website on 9th Feb 2018 so it's a lie from you and the ABC to claim we don't know. We should sell off the fake news called the ABC there is no cure for your stupidity.
Do you think posting it on the Liberals website is keeping it a secret, if they wanted to keep it a secret why did they post details on a government website?
Was it posted there, at that date, Baron?
If you'd read it, all your questions would have been answered. Have you read it?
If that is all they are proposing, my only problem is with Category C firearms and this new Category E form. I do not see any reason why farmers require semi-automatic firearms.
Yes it was posted on that date bwian, if you were able to read it then it wasn't a secret was it.
Why did the ABC raise this issue on the eve of an election could they be grubs with a leftist bias?
The ABC raised it when they did because that was when they were made aware of it, as I understand it. There was no bias, just a lack of information from a boring election campaign. Why did the Tories hide it's detail when asked about it, Baron? Where they ashamed of it? Mmmm?
Quote:The 1996 Firearms act allows Primary Producers as defined by tax dept to have semi auto rimfire rifles and semi auto/pump action shotguns, hobby farmers aren't primary producers so not eligible for Cat C firearms.
Yet my brother, who is what you describe as a "hobby farmer" does qualify as he is defined by the ATO as a "primary producer". While I'd trust him to use it sensibly, if he ever bothered to acquire one, I am not so sure about the majority of farmers.
Quote:The 1996 Firearms act also allows clay target shooters to have Cat C shotguns.
Why? Clay target shooters are only allowed two shots at a target AIUI. Hardly seems sporting to blaze away at a defenceless clay target...
Quote:The Victorian Police minister and nationals MP who was also a farmer told John Howard farmers need semi auto rimfires, he had to put down large numbers of animals in the 1982 drought.
Obviously he had mismanaged his livestock. Droughts do not suddenly occur, Baron.
Quote:The UK is a different country to Australia, the last time I checked, Baron. Remember, we are discussing AUSTRALIA and AUSTRALIAN LAWS. Not UK ones, not American ones, not Kiwi ones. Tsk, tsk. Despite what you claim, the overwhelming majority of Australians accept the Australia Governments' decisions in 1996.
