That makes more sense. I don't think it's true, but I can understand why an anti would spout that.

The anti's could jump on this statistic and make the argument that if they can't fil in he form that how can they be trusted to follow the rules. Bit of a double edged statistic this one but great to see the popularity growing in QLD, hopefully they can get traction in getting some of the stupid laws up there changed.

This article has nothing to do with the education levels of QLDers, but is about the application process itself. Here in QLD, you can make your application online, but you still need to send your supporting documentation (copies of safety cert, club membership, property owners permission etc) by snail mail to WLB in Brisbane. Then someone at WLB has to collate that with your online application, and human error being what it is, some of the paperwork goes missing in the process, leaving some applications incomplete.
WLB is trying to get more funding to upgrade software to allow applicants to upload digital copies of the supporting documents as attachments to their application as a way of getting around this human error factor shown by some of its employees.
Although 350 new applicants per week seems a bit of stretch, that's 18,200 new LAFO per year, (maybe 350 total new and renewals combined), they (WLB) need a figure to help in justifying the funding. I would be happy to use this number, and cite its source, when speaking with non shooting folk, particularly politicians.

Well said there Trekin,,,,
I loved the way you so delicately turned it around and put the blame squarely on WLB. (I'm sure they don't deserve 100% blame tho :lol: )

However, in the email it does state 350 NEW applications per week. :thumbsup:

Yep,,,,,,,,, Shove those figures right up the likes of PETA. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Thanks mate, I tried to do it as subtly as I could hoping no one would notice :D
And yeah, I'm quiet happy to quote those numbers, and their source, when speaking to others from the outside.

I would say, "So what?" But I know that might not fly as well over there.

Somebody not "following the rules" does not equate with a death nor an armed felon. Most of the rules over there accomplish very little to nothing IMO. I know others see it differently.


Was more taking the piss outta the banana benders, a little bit of interstate rivalry :D

I'm not asking what any of this means this time. And if I ever meet any of you mates, I'm only drinking out of sealed containers I bought at the store myself :)

You'll be right Mate,,,,,, We'll look after you, :D

If you ever get down under,, I'd love to meet up and help educate you to our way of life.
I'm sure a lot of the other members would feel/do the same.

Cheers Mate. :thumbsup:
