From what I understand, no government has adopted any of the new requirements in the NFA, as this must happen when they re-write the firearms regulations (this is what its called in Victoria, I believe, I'm not sure of the other states) The only part of the NFA that was passed in WA was the re-categorisation of lever action shotguns (5 shot to CAT B, 7 shot to CAT D). The SFFP are looking to appeal this, but they need your support. The NFA doesn't have to be accepted by the state governments, which is our advantage. The only way John Howard forced them to comply in 96' was because he threatened to cut funding to the states, times have changed and firearm owners and lobby groups can and have stayed connected through the proliferation of the internet. I also recommend you support firearm lobby groups such as Shooters Union as they constantly fight for our rights on our behalf, but they're still new and relatively small. If your not a member I recommend signing up, or donating if you can't.
Keep the pressure on the pollies, they're certainly feeling the heat with the state elections, I can assure you that.
