In today's 9News report, our Prime Minister, Mr Turnbull has announced that Australia will commence manufacturing military weapons for overseas. The plan is to be in the top 10 suppliers in the next 10 years.
We currently sit at 20.
The aim is jobs, jobs etc.
I feel that we should be manufacturing all of our defence equipment and ordinance in Australia.

Precision Development in the ACT were to manufacture, test and supply Suppressors and rifles (with folding stocks) to the Victorian Police Force. The ACT refused the application to test equipment and the ACT court upheld the decision and G.C. closed down. This is despite the fact the the ACT Government have used suppressors since 2009 in culling purposes. This was pointed out to the court and was suggested by the court that this may have been illegal.

Also, does this now mean the the N.F.A. and Federal, state and territories rules, regulations and law will need to be changed?
