I have just had an issue with the registry in NSW.
They received my PTA on the 2/6/2017 for my second rifle (Cat B) and I already have a Cat A. According to their website there is no waiting time as they fit under the same category. It's now the 19/6/2017 and it stills says it's being processed by the firearms register so I decided to give them a call.
After explaining the situation the lady replied "You have to have a registration certificate for the first rifle you have purchased to have the 0 wait time". I said to her that I bought the rifle 3months ago and you should have it. she said "ok let me check a few things".
After a few minutes she gets back on the line and says " Oh we received your registration on the 1/5/2017, but it was only processed today 19/6/2017, I'm very sorry but we have been really busy. So basically I said "I have to wait 28days again?" To which she said "yes I'm sorry"
So technically for a second rifle of the same cat it should be about 10 days (postage), instead I am having to wait another roughly 38 days....\
It's a bit of a piss take if I'm completely honest, the government have no issues chasing you for money, but when you want something they don't seem to give s**t.
