THE LNP and the ALP have once again teamed up to defeat a common sense measure put forward by the Katter’s Australia Party; this time in relation to primary producers who need to use handguns for their work. The Motion, which called for the parliament to support the rights of Primary Producers to own handguns, was voted down by the Government and LNP.
“The Government has continued its attack on regional Queensland and the LNP has supported them. These city based politicians really have no understanding of what life is like west of Ipswich”, Mount Isa MP Robbie Katter said.
“Currently Weapons Licencing are rejecting applications and renewals by primary producers who have legitimate reasons to own a handgun. This attitude does nothing to reduce risks to the public. A farmer can still own a handgun to shoot at the pistol club in town but they can’t own one to use for their business. It makes no sense.”
“Let’s be clear here – you still need a licence to apply for category H. The claims from the LNP that everyone would have access are ridiculous as there is a fit and proper person test to gain a licence in the first place”. Robbie said.
“Firearms on properties are a specialised tool. Like most specialised tools, it’s not every day you need to use them. They are vitally important to rural family’s safety, especially if you’re miles away from the house or being bailed up by a pack of wild dogs as happened to Ms. Katie Casey on her property near Hughenden recently.
“In recent months there has been numerous calls to my office from concerned property owners who are being told they will not have their Category H Firearms licenses renewed. I know other members of the House with rural electorates have received similar calls and it’s a disgrace they wouldn’t support the motion.” Robbie said.
Member for Dalrymple Shane Knuth said the LNP will always back their city voters over regional Queenslanders.
“The LNP talk up their support for farmers but when they’re forced to choose between their city voters and regional voters, they pick the city voters every time”. Mr Knuth said.
“The types of people who are getting rejected for licences are often Primary Producers, many of whom have held a pistol license for many years. They have satisfied the rules in the past but clearly something has changed, despite the government assuring us they have made no policy change. This is why an as of right clause is required.”
“The major parties have shown they couldn’t care less about rural Queenslanders and have once again betrayed the bush. This is nothing less than gun control by stealth. These measures do nothing to reduce the incidence of illegal firearms in our community and reduce violent criminals. These measures only serve to punish legitimate pistol owners in rural areas.” Mr Knuth said.
Thanks Bris Ben we too know about the Muslim guns. Bureaucracies around the country have been infiltrated by Islamists, a part of their long term plan for total domination. They can be found in police departments working in clerical jobs. This is how 15 registered handguns were stolen from targeted homes in a number of suburbs. The addresses of the licence holders were sold to the Muslim bikies by civilian police bureaucrats and they simply waited until the homeowners were absent, broke in and stole their firearms, in particular pistols.Editor
Don’t worry farmers, the Muslims have plenty of Glocks for sale. If the government wants to make it that hard for us, just go down to the local mosque and price a Glock or even an AK-47.
This madness needs to stop and all these crazy leftist commie policies need to be swashed and thrown to the dustbin of history people are sick and tired of the same crap they like myself want real freedom. And these morons in Parliament need to remember one thing THEY WORK FOR US NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND START DOING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE OR GUESS WHAT AT THE NEXT ELECTION START LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB YOUR OUT.
Soon the way we are going we were call this country as California is called commifornia but for us it will be commieaustralia wake up people.
This government and the ALP are heading for Political Suicide! The dogmatic claims to leave FARMERS WITHOUT GUNS IS THE REMNANT OF AMERICANIZED PUPPETS!!
I suggest that you all go out and buy a COPY OF THE AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION AND AMENDMENTS AND TO HOLD MEETINGS TO STUDY THE APPROPRIATE SECTIONS TO HALT THIS ERADICATION OF “RIGHTS”
BOB KATTER MUST BE STRONGER IN THE FIGHT FOR HIS CONSTITUIENTS.
I said to mr Katter once before the country can face it issues sucure property rights pretty simple would stop lot of waste $$
