But if you’re trapping pigs the 22 is still your most cost effective for controlling them.
No one really understands why semi auto 22 rim fire was banned anyway. So if you need a 22 for that type of task why not use modern machinery. I mean they’ve been around for a hundred years. I know Queenslanders are a bit simple but they’re not Stone Age.
It’s difficult to assert that a 10/22 is an assault rifle because it’s near impossible to get them to chamber centerfire rounds.
And in Queensland there will be no shortage of farmers who’ve made that discovery and concluded that something doesn’t add up here.

As per usual there are always those "simple" ones here on the forum that jump to conclusions by reading only what they themselves want to see/read,,,,,
and therefore miss the point entirely.
Praps do some simple research to ascertain the percentage of shooters that have Cat D compared to Cat C, for the above mentioned purpose,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
And,, then understand the inequalities of which I was actually referring to, for those that don't have Cat D and are forced to operate with only Cat C at best.
It is the legislation downfall here,,,,,,,,,,, not the caliber.

Cat c isn’t for controlling feral pigs, dogs, deer. There’s other legitimate needs for it. Birds eating crops. Clay shooters with a medical reason, firearms instructors, various occupational, probably a heap more I can’t think of.
If you have a feral pig problem and you own or operate a sugar cane business why would you get cat c. You wouldn’t. Nor would you be forced to instead of cat d.

I doubt getting CatD in Qld is any easier than getting it down here. You pretty much have to earn your income from shooting vertebrate pest animals to qualify for CatD, so unlikely for farmers.

Cat d is far north on big commercial properties. Generally it would be outsourced work to pro shooters. But it might also be the work of farmers and their employees. It won’t be easy to get and would be assessed on a case by case basis. ( WOW, did you just have a brain fart ? )
I think you sit the same course for cat c or d in QLD.
