He has nothing to answer for, all he did in in statements was speak regarding a licenced shooter, as per the INFORMATION given to him by various police sources. If that information was wrong, this has been corrected and Mr Abbott was advised according to posts here. hence Mr Abbott will still call for an enquiry and we as licenced shooters have nothing to fear. See recent senate enquiry.

Long time lurker, first time poster yada.. yada.. To cavok and all those who think like wise, do not be fooled. The Senate inquiry has not handed down it's findings yet, and will not until next year sometime, and the first rule all Senators are taught is "You don't call for one unless you pretty much know what the outcome will be."
We all come to these forums to seek advice from the older, wiser or more experienced shooters out there, and from what I have seen as a long time lurker is that, most of these 'blokes' advising as to what fallout that we LAFO's can expect, were there back in '96/'97. Heed their advice, as they have first hand experience, and remember this, all the naysayers, deniers and quislings from back then were proven wrong, and these 'blokes' (the ones mentioned above, and not the naysayers, deniers and quislings from back then) are still here to pass on their experience.

"We only got it wrong because we were in a rush"
Not much of a business philosophy for the people who are supposed to be running out states and countries.
Act in haste repent at leisure.
