Yes, 11 separate occasions over the years, and I know of at least 20 others just in my club alone. Add to that the 1/2 a dozen or so bolt action and pump action firearms classed as Cat D here in Vic due to "military appearance" and some of us are well aquainted with these bollocks laws.

Here's hoping. There "appears" to be some sort of agreement between both ALP & LNP that they need to be changed.

I've seen older versions of the Firearms Act 1996. Vic didn't have appearance laws until mid-2007. That was when the Bracks Government gave the Chief Commissioner powers to temporarily declare Cat A, B, and C firearms as Cat D or E based on design, function, or appearance. Around mid-2008, the Chief Commissioner was given powers to permanently do the same thing.
Hopefully Sections 3A, 3B, and 3C are removed for good.

It never bothered me until I moved into a brand-new house with no front yard no backyard access to speak off now I have to walk out my front door to put my firearms into the car what a joke all it takes is for my neighbour to ring the cops and say he seen me put my Firearms in the car and I'm in the s***

No idea, you're the one telling the stories. If you want me to guess you will need to give more details, but even then its a guess.
It seems a little know fact that Victoria has open carry laws as long as the firearm isn't loaded.

The police like to enact their own set of rules, they just don't expect us to defend ourselves or get provided with a good defence team like old mate who nearly got dragged through the ringer for cleaning his rifle in his lounge room with the curtains open.

This is becoming a real problem. Or perhaps social media is making us more aware of what's been going on all along.

We're definitely becoming more aware, I reckon the likes of NSC are helping with that as well.
OK... so I took a look at the firearms Regulations. Page 95
Part 3 - 26 (4) - Security of firearms and ammunition while being transported.
It's stated quite clearly that firearms must be covered.
