18.01.2022 For the Men who fought in the Gallipoli campaign, (also known as the Dardanelles campaign,) which could have brought 'The War to End All Wars', to its End. They will be Remembered. "Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell That here, obeying her behests, we fell."

05.01.2022 Tonight I'm calling on Labor to reverse their decision to shut down and classify licensed weapons armourers and dealers as ‘non-essential services’. Farmers and... landholders rely on this industry to keep us fed. The LNP has written to the Premier and the Minister for Police and asked them to explain why these businesses were included as a non-essential service. It's imperative these businesses continue to operate to: 1 Continue to carry out servicing on firearms and firearm equipment to ensure safety standards are not jeopardised; 2 Provide a means for farmers to undertake their usual activities such as pest control; 3 Adhere to animal welfare standards in the event a firearm is required to humanely put down a sick or injured animal; 4 Allow for members of the public to surrender unregistered firearms (particularly for those found at a clean up of a property or at a deceased estate) to licensed dealers for safekeeping; 5 Provide lawful firearm owners the ability to access ammunition to control vermin as new crops continue to grow; and 6 Store firearms owned by members of the public who are required to surrender these under Domestic Violence Protection Orders. The decision to shut down these businesses also creates the situation where unsecured firearms will be sent to depots and remain there for up to 6 months. If this does occur, there is a real risk to community safety in the event proper safekeeping of these firearms is not adhered to. This decision will undoubtedly impact not only the licensed armourers and dealers but the farmers who are dependent on the industry. The Palaszczuk Labor Government needs to explain why it has singled-out licensed armourers and dealers from other industries which also provide essential goods and services to Queenslanders. The LNP is calling on the Palaszczuk Labor Government to overturn the decision immediately and work with the industry to put measures in place that can keep these businesses open but maintain social distancing.

02.01.2022 The Queensland Government‘s decision to shut down all licensed firearm dealers and armorers without exception is ill-considered and puts the community at risk. ...Licensed Firearms Dealers must be deemed as an essential service and be authorised to continue to trade. Licensed Firearm Dealers are deemed essential service as: The security and safe storage of firearms, ammunition and explosives is essential to the safety of the nation. The Licensed Firearm Dealers network securely stores and controls the largest and most geographically diverse stock of firearms, ammunition and explosives in the nation. The operation of the National Firearms Agreement and the maintenance of the nation’s firearm registers is essential to the safety of the nation. The National Firearms Agreement 1996 [Australia’s Gun Laws] in respect to Licensed Firearm Dealers mandates that: Firearm sales be conducted only by or through Licensed Firearm Dealers. That Firearm Dealers are responsible for ensuring that purchasers are appropriately licensed. That Firearm Dealers record and maintain the details (of each weapon purchased or sold against the identity (name, address and license number) of the seller or purchaser. Firearm dealers provide records to the National Register of Firearms through the State and/or Territory licensing authority Firearm dealers provide records to assist police investigating crimes. Firearm Dealers are therefore essential to the continued operation of the National Firearm Agreement and the maintenance of the National Register of Firearms. The vetting of approved licenses and the mechanisms to ensure appropriate sale and transfer of firearms, ammunition and explosives is essential to the safety of the nation. The Licensed Firearm Dealer network performs this function for the Nation as prescribed under the NFA. The information security of licensed firearm owners including the address of firearm owners, their firearms and ammunition purchasing history, the location of their safe storage and the categories of firearms held on their license is essential to the safety of the nation. Licensed Firearm Dealers are required to record all firearm and ammunition transactions and verify licenses. As such, the network holds the largest collection of sensitive data outside of the nation’s policing network. Provision of safe storage for firearms for individuals that do not have adequate safe storage of their own or are not appropriately licensed to hold firearms is essential to the safety of the Nation. Licensed Firearm dealers provide a network to allow safe storage of firearms for individuals, who are unable to securely or legally store certain firearms, ammunition or explosives. These include, Defence Force personnel serving overseas, family heirlooms, people working in FIFO operations, deceased estates, unlicensed firearms found by individuals, previously licensed individuals, sick or temporarily disabled licensed individuals. Ongoing firearm amnesties are essential to the safety of our nation. The Federal Government, States and Territories have agreed to implement a permanent and ongoing National Firearms amnesty to be administered by the Licensed Firearm Dealers network. The licensed Firearm Dealers network is essential to the running of the national amnesty and cannot be allowed to fail. Mass business failures within the Licensed Firearm Dealers network would undermine the nation’s security by: Leaving the Nation’s largest stock of firearms, ammunition and explosives unsecured. Collapsing the National Firearms Agreement and the National register of Firearm’s by removing the mechanism to validate licenses, ensure appropriate transfer of firearms and ammunition, and recording and reporting of data to the National Register through the States and Territories. Exposing large volumes of data associated with individual firearm and ammunition purchase history, location of secure firearms storage for licensed firearm owners, identity details of firearm owners. Delivering a shopping list for organised crime both now and well into the future. Remove safe storage of firearm arrangements for 10’s of thousands of Australians in cities and towns across the nation. Diverting essential Policing resources [as many as 10,000 full time police nationwide] to manage the licensed firearms enterprise, secure and store 100’s of thousands of firearms spread throughout every corner of the nation, manage 100’s of millions of rounds of ammunition spread throughout every corner of the nation, manage large stocks of explosives (gun powder) spread throughout every corner of the nation, manage all transfers of firearms, registrations of parts, repairs to firearms and so on. Remove the ability for registered security providers involved in the protection of cash in transit or other armed guard duties to access firearms and ammunition for training or operational purposes. Animal Welfare and national food supply. In addition to national security considerations, the licensed firearm dealers network supports a range of other essential services including animal welfare, and protection of national food stocks. The collapse of the Licensed Firearm Dealers network would see farmers having to destroy stock with means such as hammers. Feral pest management to preserve the nation’s food stocks during what is hoped to be a productive winter crop period this year is essential. Licensed shooters are required to assist farmers in the control of feral pests which, if left unchecked, will destroy up to 30% of the nation’s crops. Urgent action required to secure the network: Western Australia and Queensland over the past 48 hours, without consultation or planning, have mandated the closure of this essential service. By tomorrow morning Monday March 30, 2020, if not addressed in those States: All licensed firearm dealership staff in those States will be stood down. Licensed firearms dealers will be walking away from their businesses and seeking alternate employment. Potentially not in their hometown. Dealers will not have the financial means to continue to provide security for large stocks of firearms, ammunition explosives at their registered premises. Individuals will be asked to collect their firearms from safe storage and take them to their local police stations. Local Police will be required to collect and safely store all firearms, firearm parts, ammunition and explosives at all dealerships. These will need to be insured and appropriately handled to enable safe return to the dealers if and when they are allowed to operate again. Frontline police resources will need to be diverted to handle transfers of firearms between individuals, acquire new replacement firearms and provide them to individuals, record details, update registers, verify licenses etc. Individuals with firearms will be directed into police shop fronts to address firearms issues surrendering, licensing or handing in for destruction of unregistered, unlicensed firearms ammunition and explosives. Firearms and ammunition currently in transit will remain in the general freight network and unable to be delivered for secure storage. Outlaw motorcycle gangs and organised crime will start looking for opportunities to exploit the close down. Expect increased targeting of failed dealership premises for theft of firearms, ammunition, explosives and personal details of individual licensed firearm owners addresses and firearms held. Also targeting of freight locations where the new goods cannot be delivered and must therefore be being stored.
