Seeing as I get molested by the ATO to fund education for other peoples children I want to see basic standards are met for reading, writing, basic mathematic skills and firearm skills in all children.

Basic rifleman skills is just basic human knowledge everyone should know. Like knowing how to read, write or do basic maths in ones head. If I have 7 pmags and each pmag holds 30 rounds of 223/556 how many rounds in my pmags do I have?
Kids play those stupid nintendo games. Why play a game when you can actually be outside running and gunning? Makes no sense to me.

Yes, plenty of folks in that war still getting zapped from good marksmanship or luck.
However drones have changed everything, especially the little suicide drones that they fly right into your head. In my line of work people were always concerned about ambushes, IEDs, fire as a weapon, etc. but really now everyone is waking up seeing things like IEDs are a waste of time when you can fly a $30 drone into something and blow it up with a charge. So now thought is going into how do you counter this?

Unfortunately, that line of thinking will never enter an Australian politicians feeble thought process.
For some seriously fast, and accurate shooting, search YouTube for Carl Morten Boine. The language is Norwegian, but you'll get the gist of it. Great to see such partisan and enthusiastic crowds too.
Oh, and there is their equivalent of the "mad minute".
Nearly all competitors use the SIG Sauer 200 STR, in 6.5 x 55, and (almost always) beat the semi's.
