How much do you reckon this happens? Hahahahahahha. Australians act like children in 2018. Back in the day you would shut your f**king mouth and wait.

Don't they say a minimum of 12weeks on the application? So that's 3 months. I got mine in 4 months with patience I never rang or hassled them and that was 8 years ago. I find it funny people ring and take up weapons licensing time and wonder why things take time.

I was a bit rough with my words there and I am not pointing my finger at anyone at all on this forum. What I was trying to say is just be patient, it will come. Imagine if the Police gave someone a licence straight away and they hurt someone. Everyone would be carrying on about how the police didn't do proper checks. The poor buggers can't win.

I agree and disagree.

Patience is a virtue not too many people have these days in a world of instant gratification. Everything takes time and will be ready when it's ready...

But.


12 week minimum to process an application is a joke.

These employees of the government probably have a direct line to databases to perform the required checks. So let's say an application lands on a desk and takes 10 minutes to check your history/offences/etc, then another 10 minutes to complete the application. Remember they probably do this everyday so I doubt it would take longer.

That's 20 minutes. 8 hour day, allow for stoppages and you're looking at approx 18 applications per employee. Let's say there is around 5 employees processing them, that's 90 applications per day.


Why the excessive wait times in 2018.



PS - I used to work for the QLD government in an area that processed applications.

I have contacted them for 2 things within the last twelve months and all I was told was it will be atleast another 2 weeks to be finalised and on both occasions it was finialised pretty quick on was the next day and the other 3 days later I have come to the conclusion that that's their generic answer it will be at least 2 weeks don't ring back before 3 weeks time.
