WA Firearm Law Reforms - Monday 16 October announcement

[bigrich]

I trust all those that signed the petition will NOT be voting for Labor come 2025 as these total muppets must be set packing for not only this scenario.

mate , that's a understatement and a half..... labor are just turning into a socialist/communist party . they seem to be even worse in the west . i'll be voting for the "kat in the hat" from FNQ, and "auntie pauline" as always next election in QLD . as well as other conservative independent's

Yes, best strategy.
The two parties are full of professional politicians. SFA real life experience. NFI what it's like for the average Joe blow.

The more independents the better. I know, some are far from great. But at least the house is then more of a reflection of our society with perhaps new ideas and understanding rather than just towing the party lines.

I havnt voted for a major party for God knows how long. They always go to the bottom.

This is so funny. You support the guy who praises bob katter and Pauline Hanson.....and then deride the majors for having career politicians

Just how many different careers has Bob Katter had in his several decades in parliament? LOL he's one of the longest serving members? Literally a career politician? I don't know Pauline Hanson for her electrifying resume doing anything else either

They're all just as bad as each other.

both of those two have done more to support shooters than anyone else AFAIK . with the exception of liberal bridgette makenzie , i can't think of anyone in the two major parties who've done anything other than scare the public over firearms and then penalize LFO when their not the problem. i'm never going to suggest katter or hanson are great main stream politicians , but on numerous occasions independent's like them have held the balance in votes on bills in politics and stopped or amended bad policy . the worst thing to do is throw your hands in the air and say "their all bad" and do nothing come election time
JMHO

[bigrich]

Seems it's being reviewed. And it's already becoming clear that the bill is a joke.

good to see some pollies questioning this left wing labor madness

At least Pauline ran her fish and chip shop. Served time. Infact she's had more real life experience than most people.

Agree. I don't particularly like her. But she is more representative of the average Ozzie.

Majority of politicians just come straight out of university, work for one of the major parties and then get elected. No chippies, truck drivers, nurses etc. Just lawyers, and university graduates that have only worked for political parties. They simply are not representative of our society.

funny you should bring that up . before the first election she was going to be in , she was imprisoned on trumped up charges . after the election was over , charges dropped . i do believe tony abbot was behind the setup. independent's scare the majors cause their a wild card . they won't tow any "party lines"
a two party system is not democracy . it turns into cartel behavior . like coles and woolworths

And I would put nothing past abbot. Jeff Kennet was another.

Comrade Dan of Victoria-stan is in a class of his own. The way he was selling out to the Chinese was deplorable. Should’ve been tried as a traitor to this nation and it’s people

[Oldbloke]

They are often on a "power trip"

[bigrich]

Well this isn't going to help, licensed firearm owner in WA with 13 firearms murders mother and daughter while looking for his ex-wife.

Bloody tragic, sadly this throws fuel on the fire. If he had one or one hundred, probably wouldn’t have mattered

[geoff]

Ah I'm glad you all brought up party politics. How exactly has Pauline Hanson dealt with One Nation members who don't toe her own party line?

dunno geoff , but i'm glad i'm not livin' where you are

sorry mate, not going to get drawn into a debate over hanson . vote for the independent of YOUR choice next election mate

Very sad and the man was an absolute mad man, but if he'd used a car and run them over it would have hardly made a headline.

Murder suicide. Pretty obvious in his state he was going to use any means necessary. $4.5M house probably going to get awarded to the wife when the divorce was finalised.

[Baronvonrort]

Ah I'm glad you all brought up party politics. How exactly has Pauline Hanson dealt with One Nation members who don't toe her own party line?

Don't know.

How did the Liberals deal with Gerard Rennick and Craig Kelly when they didn't toe the party line?

For me it's Libertarian party ( was Liberal democrats) One Nation and Shooters Fishers farmers in state - federal elections.
Local council was vote independent she has done a great job for locals in my area.

I will never vote for Labor Liberals Greens or Vegans from Animal Justice party they will be fighting for last on my preferences.

DVOs are sometimes/often abused by women. However we do need them. Perhaps with additional safe guards.

BUT

Seems the new proposed WA laws don't include any safe guards in this respect. Nor do the current.

Just displays incompetence by who ever was involved in drafting them IMO

[1886]

................Seems the new proposed WA laws don't include any safe guards in this respect. Nor do the current...Just displays incompetence by who ever was involved in drafting them IMO

No, the current Act does have a clear specific section on this issue and the question that needs to be asked is as his wife obviously wanted "police protection" whilst gathering her belongings why didn't this trigger a check as to whether the guy had any DV history or suchlike. This would have also shown he had firearms and maybe it was a good idea to confiscate them under section 24(2) of the Act at this point.

(2) A member of the Police Force may seize and take possession of any firearm or ammunition that is in the possession of a person, whether or not the person is licensed or otherwise authorised to possess it if, in the opinion of the member of the Police Force —

(a) possession of it by that person may result in harm being suffered by any person; or

(b) that person is not at the time a fit and proper person to be in possession of it.

(2a) For the purpose of exercising the powers given by subsection (2), a member of the Police Force may enter and search any premises on which, in the opinion of the member of the Police Force, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that any firearm or ammunition may be found in the possession of a person in the circumstances described in that subsection.

Papalia and Co are doing major backflipping in an effort to disguise that WAPOL totally screwed up and he should be asking the Commissioner of Police for an explanation as to why under the circumstances wasn't this action undertaken. It has nothing to do with the number of guns he had, which is being made the centre of attention. But no lets continue to pursue all licenced firearms owners.

Why is is I'm not surprised?

And,

Lieing again in media statements.

[Jackaroo]

Regardless of what he used or how he did it.....he was going to kill someone.

[bigrich]

But. They knew and didn't act.

Seems that way,

WOW! police failed to act , repeatedly , resulting in a tragedy . what's the bet this side of the story doesn't come out in the media . where did you find this 5-0 ?

[Oldbloke]

It's hit the MSM

https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/crime/ ... c-14821901

I'm thinking heads will role.

And,

Paul Papalia would have known that when he made the statement I posted earlier. That nothing could be done and that the new bill would fix it. Just fukin laughable. (Lieing prik)

[Jackaroo]

What a dreadful failure this is.

Seriously this was a ##ckup of a magnitude that there should be a Royal Commission.

[1886]

Wow

Papilia and Cook need to apologize to the WA public for their outlandish BS plus the Commissioner of Police needs to "Please Explain"

Must have had fun at school, sounds like a STD that would make your old fella fall off.

I'm not in the least bit surprised they didn't act.
There's so many women out there (probably most of them) playing the victim and lying to police about their ex partners, "his crazy, his on drugs, his stalking me, his going to kill me and the children" they (every station) hear multiple stories every day, when there's no hard evidence or history they don't act.

My ex partner told the police that I was plotting to shoot her, they didn't give her a Private Intervention Order because they didn't believe her.
She eventually sought a Private AVO which is pretty straightforward and costs less than $50
It's a well rehearsed procedure that is encouraged by women's help groups who also benefit from the lies because they receive government funding for every client.

Her motive for the restraing order was to buy time to alienate the children from me, to claim rights as the primary carer, to get the women's legal help, handouts from the bank as a victim of violence, free furniture and many more perks.
It's lying women like her that make it hard for the genuine women in need of help.

Perhaps now with everything that's going on all men well be treated as horrible DV perpetrators / potential murderers until proven innocent ant those women who bs about it all will continue to get away with their lies Scott free.

I’ve seen a lot of my mates get screwed over by ex’s manipulating the system. Which is why I’m a bachelor, I don’t seem to be able to find a trustworthy woman. At least one that will go for a blue collar mug like me ….

[Faedy]

Mate they were so focking negligent in this case.
No s**t, it was known that he was stalking her, and that there were hand guns missing.
No brainer..

[Oldbloke]

I'm sympathetic to blokes who get screwed during a divorce and AVOs. No personal experience but seen a few and read about it all the time.

But society needs them. BUT there certainly needs to be better oversight and better implementation. Probably an entire rethink regarding the legislation in most states.

In this case sounds like WA Police fukd up big time. Now they will proceed to take it out on WA firearm owners, because that's what they do.

Oh, of course the police will investigate the police. How else would you do it?

[Oldbloke]

I'll just add.
The statement by Arial Bombra was very ballsy.

The WA Police will likely now do their best to discredit her and give her a hard time.
