I sent out my first PTA application form on 26th of July but still have no confirmation of receipt of my PTA up until now , I have tried to emailed FR NSW and I was told that they are now experiencing process delays, it may have arrived but not receipted. Geez, it will take another 5 weeks after receipts of my application and it is not even officially received.

What??? My application posted on 26th of July, which is 5 days earlier than yours. Is that because this is my first PTA?

First PTA will always be 28 days minimum then another 5-10 for postage

The drought has seen a lot of roos, pigs, deer, etc etc come out of the scrub and ont private land.
Many people I’ve talked to have huge roo and pig numbers and have also had deer coming to look for feed.
Maybe there is currently a need for a lot of farmers to update with some new firearms?
I’ve bought a new 22 and a 410 recently. My pta’s took 2 weeks before I saw the payment go through.

Clearly exaggerating, but they have major backlog along with the staff reduction and the failure to implement the online pta system.
Will be a bumpy ride for NSW shooters for a while i think.
