PTAs for A,Bs were at about 90 days the other week; that could keep going to 120 within another month.
They now say it's going back to automated, as it was when they then cut staff, and now needing staff to do it manually.
Will the waiting time now stop blowing out? Will it come back to normal, like after new license applications got to around a 12-month wait? Who knows.
They don't seem to care about their own failings.
At first, your cat H guns would have been included in the caps; they just had NFI what was going on.
I got an B PTA through in about 2 days, as I put it straight in after Bondi.
When it expired, I went again and nothing, so I did another on the exact day as the wait hit 2 months.
I will do it again at 1 month as I don't know what they are doing, and it's me who has to be prepared.
They take my low-power fun actions, and I have room to buy high-power magnum rifles.
