Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party Victoria

I find it really disappointing that the SFFP is on the fracking bandwagon. Not that I'd ever vote for the Greens but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

We supported the ban on fracking, we also flagged amendments to the Victorian legislation that lifted the 5 year moratorium on conventional gas and wanted a clause that gave the landholder veto rights over their land

SO STILL NO STANCE ON THE NFA THEN?

The NFA is an aggreement between the states that they will follow the general line. We haven't seen any proposed legislation to amend the Firearms Act come before Parliament yet. We will fight it when it does come up

Ethan Constantinou appears to be MIA.
Someone needs to call Rambo to get him out of wherever he is.

We have been busy finalizing our branches prior to our AGM which is coming up.

Thanks for getting back to me.
To confirm, the stance of the SFFP is unequivocally against fracking, is that correct?
Concerning the 2017 NFA, there appears to be a plan to introduce ammunition rationing. Does the SFFP have any strategies to combat this?
What about the buzz about a national gun registry? Gillard wanted to do it, but the idea quietly fizzled out. I have heard it would be unconstitutional because sn 51 of the Constitution Act doesn't give the Federal Government authority over State firearm laws. Even Howard didn't dare bring in a national firearms registry. I assume the time wasn't right and that there was enough for him to do as it was. Two decades later, with the Constitution even more of a dead letter now, maybe they regard it as opportune to try again.
I hope I have some awareness of the need to refrain from discussing plans in too much detail, but I feel it's fair to want some sort of idea from the SFFP on ammunition rationing and the proposed national firearms registry.
Lastly, about crossbows. I hate to be tedious about this, but when several states move to ban or require registration for crossbows, as they did in 2012, it couldn't possibly have been simply that one police commissioner in one state decided they were a bad idea. This would only explain a ban in one single state, and it also doesn't explain why an unelected person should have the ability to introduce such a ban.
