they wont be lost. The NSW registry is the most incompetent government organisation i have ever dealt with. i used to have highly protected govt clearance and have dealt with a lot of government agencies.

The NSW far only print on mondays as it is outsourced, if for what ever reason they miss that window then it waits a week.. This is after it has been miss filed 3 times and just sat on because "we are too busy"


Cheers mate, Fingers crossed it comes this week. I went to the St Marys indoor range on Friday night and hired one of their .22s so i got a shoot this weekend after all. First time firing a rifle so i enjoyed every second of it.
