Yes on the back of doctors saying they wouldn't do the mental health assessments.

Apparently there is a big enough problem for the Greens, who are usually anti gun, to have voted for the review.
Perhaps they consider the legislation to be unfair?

No need for abuse, Phil, it only makes your argument weaker.
I support Gun laws, fair ones, not unnecessary bull poo laws that also are not evidence based.

Firearms Act 2024—Referral to Standing Committee on Legislation

Notice of motion

Hon Nick Goiran gave notice that at the next sitting of the house he would move:

(1) That the Standing Committee on Legislation is directed to inquire into and report on the Firearms Act 2024, which received royal assent on 27 June 2024, including any provisions that have not yet come into operation.

(2) Without limiting the scope of the committee's inquiry, the committee is to:

(a) particularly focus its consideration on those provisions of the act that were passed by the Legislative Council after time for consideration of the originating bill in Committee of the Whole had lapsed pursuant to standing order 125A;

(b) review the operation, effectiveness and implementation of those parts of the act, including any subsidiary legislation, that have come into operation at the time that the inquiry is commenced; and

(c) report on:

(i) whether any provisions have been implemented in practice by the government or any agency prior to such provisions having legal force and effect;

(ii) whether all provisions are consistent with fundamental legislative principles;

(iii) how the act may be amended so that every person convicted of a serious offence outside of Western Australia is subject to the same disqualification to hold a firearm licence as those who commit offences in our state; and

(iv) any other relevant matter.

(3) The committee is to report within three months.’’
From WA Hansard.

My problem is that when I put something up for discussion there is always someone comes along and having no idea about it, starts abusing people.
Still it’s amusing.

Then why hasn't someone posted about it....Do you have any details... A link....Put up the argument if you want to discuss the topic???

Why didn't you just post a link???

Sounds like some doctors do not want to be held responsible if some gun nut goes on a rampage....The Legislation will be reviewed and mental health assessments will still occur....It may just become more specialized and difficult....Good news!!!

Will we throw our firearm restrictions at them, like Papuans kicking NRL footballs at them?
