Imagine if you were them, and you got a couple-of-sentence email thanking them for this decision, how it would carry in their mind going forward.
They will be buoyed by their decisions, and think positively about the message and who it's from.

By the same token, a short message to the Labor people to take note at what respect for Queenslanders looks like in Crisafulli's decision, and that the result is that you will never vote for those who disrespect you again, as they are working class enemies in every aspect.


You are absolutely right.
This is something we should all do!
I did this exact thing first thing Tuesday morning.
I emailed my local member, David Crisafulli, Dan Purdie, and Steven Miles first thing Tuesday morning.

“ We are finally seeing some common sense and well thought out legislation that actually targets criminals, and the root cause of the issue. Unlike the NSW Labour government’s ridiculous rushed legislation without any serious effort to target the real cause of the issue. But instead punishes law abiding firearms owners excessively.
Thankyou both for your efforts to get it right.”

I went on to make it clear who would be getting my vote in the future.

I did receive a very grateful personal response from Dan Purdies office. I have to say every time I have contacted Dan Purdie, I always get a timely response that is clearly obvious that they have actually read my email, and not just sent out a generic reply.

Tom Kenyons latest update has stated National Cabinet will convene sometime in May to come up with NFA 2.0. In this agenda will include uniform firearm classifications, like we had pre-Bondi.

So while QLD has made a clear stance on the matter, they could always change. I doubt NSW will change theirs. So QLD'ers dont go popping champagne bottles just yet.

We don't need to keep hearing you tell us that we better not count our chickens, Zappa.
I know you mean well, well I hope you do... but it ain't happening here.
Crisafulli is off a cane farm, his family and all his neighbours, in fact the whole state outside of the germ factory that is Brisbane, has been chasing pigs from wrecking the families' livelihoods, wild dogs too. I don't reckon there's too many real people in Canberra, fly in/out included.
Living in the leftist capital of Australia, the only joint that majority supported the sickening "Voice", I guess that's what you must be used to in the ACT.
again, it ain't happening here. Nor in the NT, where there is a real leader from the people too.

Like I've said, to much derision from those who feel a little ashamed and are now having to suck it up, that's what people get when they bother to do some research where the people on offer to vote for come from.

Whilst it could be considered “good” compared to other states that the only bad outcome for Queensland is no more wood safes. It is the principle of the issue to me that bothers me.

Letting them ban one thing just eventually leads to more and more bans over time. So Queenslanders should be angry about this. Wood safes have always been good. Why not now?

Next they will tell us how thick our steel safes have to be.

Of course I mean well, and bare no mean streak here.
I hope QLD digs in their heels and resists these outlandish, ill-thought out civil impositions on our lifestyles. Its a pushback on tyranny, it's a win for all.

I just think there are more battles on the horizon and hope your Leader does not sell you out, at the 11th hour.

But Alex, steel safes for H, C and D already have thickness limits and storage requirements that are now specified. Isn't it only A& B that somehow have escaped that?

I do know from talking to country coppers and knowing a few as mates, wooden safes are being jimmied open with even big screwdrivers by any old sort of drug addled idiot on farms when the owners are in town or off in the paddocks. They reckon the steel safes very often show signs of being tampered with, but only when the farmer has left his cutting disc grinder or oxy regulators out, that they gate opened. Druggies can't operate an oxy anyway.

As responsible citizens, somehow if holes in the law have been seen that are openly being exploited that COULD VERY WELL result in more restrictions for us, by just upgrading our storage to steel that can't be opened by a pry-bar, I've got no problems.

Because If I can still own 25 firearms, of the kinds the regs say I can now own, and I need to put them in a steel safe so they don't just get knocked off by petty germs and the result is more firearm type restrictions, good.
I also DO NOT WANT petty germs taking guns off me and hurting others. I care about that.
And yes, I know someone with knowledge and the correct gear can break into anything, but that's different and the minority.

I appreciate the discussion mate.

Here's what I reckon will happen in Australia prior to this National Cabinet meeting in May... IF it happens.

One Nation are gaining popularity, and will grow a few more percentage points for a few reasons, doesn't matter really.
They will eclipse Labor in any polls nationally, scaring the crap out of them even further.

Minns on the other hand, will continue to slime around the state sucking up to all the fools who still haven't realised he is a cowardly knee-jerker, NOT a "leader". Any leader knows that you do not react to a crisis by knee-jerking with emotion, you step back and get all the facts first and allow things to settle down. But he's not a leader, and he knows he f**ked up and showed everyone he isn't. So he's everywhere and anywhere trying to take the spotlight off his failure to the people of Bondi.
Howard did exactly the same thing - he might've been able to collect together a very good crew to manage the economy, but he isn't a "Leader". He reacted with emotion and horror after Port Arthur, a Beta male does that, not a true leader.

Crisafulli is the complete opposite man type... it doesn't matter what political idealism you have.
Unless, of course, your agenda is to screw everyone by taking control. But Crisafulli represents business, achievement and getting ahead, because his family and his district are farmers and businesspeople who worked back-breakingly hard. Unlike CFMEU backed semen sharers that gravitate to socialism where others do the work instead.

I don't reckon Albanese will push at all, because he knows he's exposed himself as the cowardly non-leader activist he is.
I will also be surprised if that career soft hand in SA will announce anything till after the election, because he knows it will stomp his chances. Dogsh*t thrown into a fan covers everyone in the room.

Crisafulli will seek to use any push from the useless Albanese in threatening Qld with funds, and bring more people into hating Labor and smashing them for the future election. Same will go for the NT and Lia Finnochiaro is the same, a leader, from the people. Not from the slimy universities and loudhailers on the streets whinging about everything other than their own backyards.
They will show up the Labor activist germs and break their backbones, at least that's how I'd do it.

Mate I live in Brisbane but lived in NQ for many years. To be honest in my experience I found far more people in the regions with chips on the their shoulders and many believed they were owed a living.

Well, I made my point regarding what I reckon is acceptable storage and trying to stop crims using my guns against other people. If it's one less reason to keep from having the terrible laws down south forced on me, I'm trading the metal storage option.

Qld is allowing submissions, so if you don't like anything, they are welcoming you to comment for their consideration. Below is the Shooters Union email outlining some info, I put it up for those who aren't members. It's got some links where you can share your views.
Below:

Dear G,

There has been a lot of confusion resulting from inaccurate media reporting regarding proposed changes to Queensland’s firearm licensing laws for non-citizens, so we thought we'd clarify.

The new legislation – Fighting Antisemitism and Keeping Guns out of the Hands of Terrorists and Criminals Amendment Bill 2026 - broadly requires firearms licensees be Australian Citizens – BUT there are specific exemptions in there for non-citizens for sports and target shooting (including pistol shooting) and “occupational” purposes.

This means that, under the Bill, NON-CITIZENS CAN STILL OBTAIN AND HOLD A GUN LICENCE for shooting as part of a shooting club, or for work (eg as a primary producer, pest controller, security guard, or gun shop employee)

SHOOTERS UNION IS AN APPROVED QUEENSLAND SHOOTING CLUB. We also made several representations to the Queensland Government to ensure that non-citizen firearms licence holders (including New Zealand citizens and other Permanent Resident visa holders) could continue to engage lawful shooting activities in Queensland.

If you are a non-citizen, YOU WILL NOT LOSE YOUR LICENCE OR GUNS under the Bill, provided you remain a member of a shooting club (such as Shooters Union) or have an occupational licence.

If you know someone who is non-citizen lawful permanent resident (which includes New Zealand citizens living in Queensland, and other people on Permanent Resident visas) who would like to get into target shooting, THEY CAN STILL LEGALLY GET A LICENCE AND OWN FIREARMS PROVIDED THEY ARE A SHOOTING CLUB MEMBER.

Importantly: The laws are not retroactive. Even if someone is a non-citizen and not a member of a shooting club (ie, only hunts via permission on someone’s property, or holds a Collector’s Licence), their licence will REMAIN VALID UNTIL IT EXPIRES – which could be as long as 10 years.

The other major change to be aware of is that timber cabinets will no longer be approved Secure Storage containers.

IF YOU HAVE A TIMBER GUN CABINET YOU WILL HAVE ONE YEAR FROM WHEN THE LEGISLATION TAKES EFFECT TO REPLACE IT WITH A METAL ONE.

Unlike WA, Queensland does not mandate particular thicknesses for Category A/B/C firearm safes, so any commercially available gun safe will generally be compliant.

We appreciate this is an inconvenience for the small number of shooters in Queensland with timber gun cabinets, but ask anyone affected by it to consider the larger picture and appreciate the change was only a matter of time anyway.

Finally, we would like to remind everyone the Bill is NOT LAW YET. It is currently under review by Parliamentary Committee, and submissions are open until February 17.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO MAKE A SUBMISSION TO THE COMMITTEE!

It does not have to be long – a simple e-mail is fine – but we know that well-funded interstate anti-gun groups will be working to lodge submissions calling for more restrictions, so it is vital we let the Committee know shooters support the laws as proposed and do NOT want further restrictions.

You can make a submission here: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work- ... 75&id=8564

Yours in shooting,

The Shooters Union team

Number, types, storage and penalties will have had zero impact on bondi.

1 person intent on passing away by cop will not be affected.

Cops and politicians just can't bring themselves to say it.

This citizenship requirement makes no sense.

So if you are a member of a gun club you can still get a licence?

Keep in mind being a member of a gun club(shooters union, ssaa etc) is a simple as pay the yearly fee as they have no minimum range attendance(pistols excluded).

So basically nothing will change.

In NSW, VIC and ACT ( I only know of these ) if you have a AB license for sport shooting, you are required to attend a minimum of 4 times per year.

So basically, in most cases it's a matter turning up to the range 4 times per year and scanning you card in. Leave a few minutes later.

Spare a thought for the thousands of sport shooters who cajoled their spouse in obtaining their license with a view to spread out their firearm quotas, and now having to take them to the range. Four times a year they'll be on their best behavior. :sarcasm:

Yes but we are talking about Queensland here.

They are changing the law that only citizens can get licences with the exception of if you are a gun club member. SSAA and shooters union are gun clubs.

So one must simply pay the yearly fee (never go to the range as Queensland has no minimum range attencde for longarms) then they have their guns. So nothing will change. Not many immigrant shooters would of had recreation as their genuine reason.
