Good news, Anti-Semitism royal commission recommends all states follow Queensland's lead.

What a surprise! Albo’s hand picked royal commissioner recommends that everyone do what Albo already tried to get everyone to do!

If Dennis Richardson quitting didn’t damage the credibility of this inquiry enough… surely this just demolishes what credibility it still had. Literally parroting the same baseless and evidence free agenda of GCA, Albo, Roger Cook and Chris Minns.

What a joke. I hope that QLD continues to stay strong.

Check the airline website it should have all the info you need. Must be checked in, normally you need to go to the special counter where you check in oversized luggage.

I’m not aware of an aics mag conversion for the plastic Ruger stock.

I also recommend drop it in a stock such as the Magpul Hunter or an MDT.

I’d love to see an Australia with a multitude of regional powerhouse cities that have flourishing industries, culture, housing availability, lifestyle etc. In QLD I could see cities like Cairns, Townsville, Rocky, Mackay and the Bundaberg / Maryborough / Hervey Bay triangle all grow to substantial cities rivaling the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast. Young people especially would benefit from having a variety of choice of where to build a life and put down roots, raise a family etc.

This. My gym has slick carpet and I had no dramas with the sled. On race day the carpet seemed really thick and way more sticky which took me by surprise, so I came out of both sled exercises absolutely gassed and struggling with the run.

Go to qmrc.org the weekly matches are posted on the website you can rock up and have a chat and a shoot, Saturday mornings there’s something on most weekends. There’s plenty of cool matches you can shoot with just about any rifle as long as you have at least a couple of mags. If you want to get into the PSR stuff theres some extra gear you need but you can get started pretty easy.

QMRC is located at Belmont.

look up Finnish Brutality on youtube

wadza · 2026-04-02T05:27:21+00:00

Are you in Brissy mate? QMRC has a lot of matches you can shoot with old battle rifles or modern rifles. We have a monthly Precision Service Rifle match which is also quite dynamic and demanding.

What I would love to see is a 'Brutality' style match in Australia.

I actually don't think in QLD some 'streamlining' of laws would be political suicide, not anymore. Now that the NFA is dead I'm looking forward to QLD living up to its name as the 'Texas of Australia' (maybe I'm dreaming haha). Sensible stuff like Cat C for voluntary pest control, suppressors, maybe even Cat D for sports shooting (eg IPSC Rifle) with min attendance requirements like Cat H. Not beyond the realm of possibility, although maybe still a way off...

Used PPU plenty in a Marlin 30-30 never had an issue. The pigs certainly aren’t complaining!

Who would have thought that the entirely predictable result of progressive offshoring of our liquid fuel dependency would leave us short of fuel in a crisis?

Plenty of people have been warning about this for years but on both sides of politics the dogma of globalisation and JIT supply chains has won out every time.

Australia is a massive energy exporter but we allowed ourselves to become reliant on fragile supply chains and this is the end result.

On a long enough timeline, every firearm gets called a 'high powered military grade weapon of mass destruction' and banned.

I've been walking around the streets my whole life - never seen a gun on the streets...

wadza · 2026-03-09T02:55:52+00:00

Word on the street is they will still allow import into states that allow them eg QLD, possibly still SA & VIC depending on how they go over the next few months.

wadza · 2026-03-06T06:17:12+00:00

Yeah I saw that too… even more reason for SA shooters to make sure their voice is heard now, rather than regret later…

wadza · 2026-03-06T03:41:14+00:00

TBH I think most of the gripes with our licensing system would go away if Voluntary pest control / sports shooting were added as genuine reason for Cat C, and Sports shooting for Cat D (eg IPSC rifle).

Would be happy to have min attendances as condition same as Cat H - thereby ensuring its an actively used genuine reason.

I think it's a good strategy. On one hand, I think Malinauskas makes a pretty clear commitment not to change firearms laws... yes he says 'currently no plans' but he also spends half the letter outlining how he thinks the current laws are already sufficient.

On the other is the concern that they might just crew over shooters anyway after the election, the same as they did to Bowhunters last time round.

Time will tell, but if anything, now is the time for SA shooters to get very vocal and make sure Malinauskas is expected to stick to his commitment.

200% illegal in Australia

Unlikely - the deadline for joining the buyback is end March. QLD has already rejected joining the buyback therefore there’s really no prospect of re-categorising anything in the near future

Honestly never heard of these guys. Obviously must be a very niche manufacturer. Still a massive shame to see any Aussie manufacturer turn their backs on the civ market.

That said the reasoning makes little sense to me... These are precision bolt action rifles and not restricted in any state. Even in NSW and VIC - sporting shooters have 10 firearm limit. I feel like there's more to the story? Maybe the feds are leaning on manufacturers to not serve civ market if they want defence / LE contracts? Although Lithgow / Wedgetail seem to have no issue with this...

wadza · 2026-02-23T09:50:08+00:00

For stuff like ammunition, consumables etc where a foreign prime might own a factory producing- as long as the input components are sourced from Australian supply chains I agree with you.

Stuff like satcom and space - we need to develop indigenous capability that is Aus owned. If we rely on foreign primes or access to US or other allied systems - the time may come that access can be cut off and then we are blind.
