WEAPONS licensing bureaucrats in Brisbane have blocked living history organisations from taking part in ANZAC day and other commemorative events because they carry various military firearms.
Federal Member for Kennedy Bob Katter says the bureaucrats have effectively shut down long-standing ANZAC Day commemorations by historical re-enactment groups, calling it “soulless, tone-deaf bureaucracy at its absolute worst.”
Mr Katter was alerted by Robert Finlay, a member of the Australian Living History Federation, that living history groups were being blocked from ANZAC Day and other events due to shifting interpretations of licensing conditions.
“These are not wild gun fanatics or some fringe mob,” Mr Katter said. “These are our ex-servicemen, history enthusiasts, and community volunteers—many of them older veterans—who respectfully reenact military scenes to bring our past to life and honour our fallen.
“And now, some bureaucrat sitting in a Brisbane office has decided they know better than the Minister, better than our RSLs, and better than common sense—and has told them to stop.”
The Australian Living History Federation and its member groups have followed the same licensing conditions since 2017, under exemptions MR4 and MR5 of Queensland’s weapons licensing framework. These conditions set out the responsibilities for safe, respectful use of blank-fire and replica weapons during public displays.
“Let me be very clear,” Mr Katter continued, “there’s been no change to the Weapons Act. There’s no new regulation, no incident, just an overzealous department deciding ANZAC Day needs to be micromanaged and possibly cancelled, unless these groups jump through a whole new set of invisible hoops.”
Emails from Mr Finlay show that despite providing all required notices and documentation including safety guidelines and public liability insurance, the group was told they must now seek full approval for events they are merely participating in, not organising.
Even attempts to clarify the matter with the Queensland Police Minister’s office were brushed aside by Weapons Licensing, who appear unwilling to budge.
“This is bureaucracy gone rogue. And what’s worse, it’s at the expense of ANZAC Day,” Mr Katter said. “We’ve got crime exploding in regional Queensland and they’re worried about a bloke in a slouch hat firing blanks in a tribute parade.
“I’ll be taking this to Canberra if it isn’t resolved. These people are doing this out of respect, out of patriotism, and out of deep love for this country’s history. And it’s time our public servants showed a bit of the same.”
Hi Jase, Brian and Terry. CN has one of the most extensive files on Port Arthur published, go to RH column for link. There was one shooter in the cafe and two outside. Has anybody looked at it? Best to do so before making inaccurate statements. Ed
Terry Shulze, said
“They will eventually be removed from the gene pool courtesy of the vax.”
That’s what I said, rid me of the charlatans, I’m fkn over it.
A good clean out of the loopy freaks will mean we can get this place back in order.
I understand there was only one shooter in the Port Arthur cafe.
The head of the army said at the time the shooter is better than me and there aint many people around that are that good.
The navy guy who was shot in the neck and survived, who looked directly at the shooter described him as having a pocked mark complexion.
We know who did it.
And we know who was in the black SUV running the op.
If you want peace, you prepare for war!
Jase, as far as my research, there was only one shooter – and it wasn’t Martin Bryant. The taped interviews of Martin would likely provide heaps of evidence. Those interviews went on for days, if not weeks, and I’m sure he dropped lots of bread crumbs that could be followed.
People have to realize, it was their own government that did the PAM, just like the government did the ‘safe and effective’ jab psy-op.
Until the people of Oz wrap their heads around those truths, then we will always be under the thumb of deceit. – Thus, I have mixed emotions about the ‘vax’. – It was the clueless, stupid, un-awake people that took the vax. They will eventually be removed from the gene pool courtesy of the vax. Good riddance, we need a different society of intelligent humans capable of critical thinking.
Terry Shulze,
Was the Ambulance with 2 red lights on top (not 4) ever identified?
Was the Ambulance with what looked like men in dark green clothing (maroon cap) ever identified?
From day dot I smelt a rat with the Port Arthur set up, being a lad from the bush, brought up sorounded by guns and shooting parties, fox hunts, rabbit etc. I said when I saw the news that it was definitely not 1 person, and not a chance it was MB.
“Hear hear.” – Hey Jase, send the link to that worthless bunch of self-serving clowns called the Sport Shooting Association of Australia. I’ll send a copy of the screen play to them which has a scene devoted entirely to THEM!
Every time people participate in the ‘governments’ activities you give them the right to rule over you. STOP IT! A government that is afraid of the people is a democracy. A people that is afraid of the government is a tyranny.
10. The interests of the US are exactly the same as the interests of Israel. If they aren’t, the interests of Israel take precedence.
11. Any war that the US is likely to be involved in must be evaluated from the point of view of its helpfulness to the current government of Israel.

Ido NOT onsent said – “… Had enough yet ?”
No, Dude, we’re not quite done yet.
Like a pig on a spit, we’re gonna need about another eight years to be all cooked through and ready for the carving knife.
And they’ll be seasoning us good and proper when the entire Australian navy is sitting on the bottom of the South China Sea.
Bit by bit they grind us down, until one morning we wake up and find we are in a nightmare!

“…………..But even before the founding of Washington, D.C. – and even before the founding of the United States – there were already some links between the ancient city of Rome and this remote bit of farmland destined to become our nation’s capital.
The area that L’Enfant called Jenkins Hill was actually known as “New Troy,” dating all the way back to the original Maryland land grant in 1663. In Roman mythology, the ancient city of Troy was a precursor to Rome.
And the area around New Troy included a 400-acre farm that its owner had actually named Rome. He even renamed the modest Goose Creek, which flowed from the Potomac to the base of what would become Capitol Hill, the mighty Tiber Creek, after Rome’s Tiber River.
And his name – Francis Pope.
.
So there you go – even before its founding, Washington had a Rome, the Tiber, and a Pope.

We should not have been in WWI & WWII
WWI was a war to take Germany down as a trade competitor.
WWII was to finish the job.
We know this because Churchill said. The war was not about destroying fascism rather to take German markets.
We helped the communist soviet union beat Germany.
America supplied planes, tanks and trucks to the soviet union.
Go figure.
What I wrote to the Melbourne Herald-Sun today on hearing tha Trump has told Putin to stop hammering Kiev:
“It is a bit rich, Donald Trump, when you happily sell two thousand pound bombs to Israel for them to bomb innocent civilians in Gaza.How many youngsters have been killed with these, and other, ammunition supplied by America, Donald?You are not exactly telling Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a truly genuine ceasefire, are you , Donald?Maybe back to diplomacy school for a refresher, Donald?”
You can’t put enough in to get past the letters editor, so you are limited in hat you can say-and the problem is that it is Murdoch media you are writing to.
In any event, a repeat post of this traumatic video:

How many more, Donald Trump, you Zionist puppet?
“The First and Second World Wars were wars designed to kill millions were not successful enough hence the new methods outlined in the Global 2000 Report…The world is populated with too many redundant people who must not be allowed to procreate and consume scarce natural resources…The Committee of 300 (Illuminati) commissioned Cyrus Vance to write a paper on this subject of how to bring about such genocide. The paper was produced under the title ‘Global 2000 Report’ and was accepted and approved for action by former President James Earl Carter, and Edwin Muskie, then Secretary of States, for and on behalf of the US Government.” – Dr. John Coleman, former intelligence agent of British MI6, from his report, Global 2000: A Blueprint For Global Genocide, written in 1992 concerning the depopulation agenda of the Club of Rome.
obvious_bob quoted Kissinger – “… Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy…”
Speaking of dumb, stupid animals, were I a sailor in the Australian navy, I’d be getting out real soon.
By the time the entire Australian navy is on the bottom of the South China Sea, it’ll be a tad too late.

Firstly, Thank you for your service
Thank you for the link and for your courage in bringing this to our attention.
These bastards need to be make accountable for what they have been doing behind our back, yet people will still keep voting for them.
It angers me as well.
It would be interesting to know who the faceless bureaucrats are. Are they recent arrivals who have been given positions and power way beyond their ability to use wisely, possibly in the pursuit of DEI? Whoever they are, they should be named and shamed!

Why should Americans go to war these days “to save their country?”
The Collapse Of U.S. Home Sales Is Here
Michael Snyder
Apr 24
“……….In fact, a brand new survey that was just released found that approximately two-fifths of all U.S. adults under the age of 30 are barely getting by financially…
Young Americans are sounding the alarm about their finances, with roughly 2 in 5 people under 30 saying they’re either “struggling to make ends meet” or “getting by with limited security.”
That’s according to a survey of 2,096 adults ages 18 to 29, conducted by Harvard’s Institute of Politics between March 14 and 25, 2025. The survey found that among that age group, financial insecurity most affected women, Hispanics and those without college degrees.
Times are tough.
Four years of Bidenomics did an incredible amount of damage to our economy, and now consumers have far less discretionary income than they once did.
This is one of the reasons why so many restaurant chains are now in such deep financial trouble. This week, we learned that Jack in the Box will be closing “between 150 to 200 underperforming restaurants”…

Pat From Vic: all you need to do to ascertain the attitude of governments is to look at Henry Kissinger’s comment about soldiers:
“Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”
And that attitude seems to be the same all the world over.
I do not venerate war, and do not think anyone should go to one, but if they unfortunately do, and come back injured or maimed, they should be fully compensated for those injuries, which is what governments do not want to go anywhere near doing.
The only time I would be happy enough to pick up a gun is when my country is under direct threat.
Then I would defend my beloved country to the death.
If exact re-enactment is not a higher form of remembrance of the fallen or those who served I don’t know what is. We cant talk to old diggers anymore but we can be reminded of them by their uniform and arms, especially the horses. No actual reason for this removal of an established part of ANZAC day since I remember was given and most likely it was nothing rational or even thought through. Maybe those crusty deactivated bolt action 303’s are just too ‘scary’ to leftist retardations. A lot of their battle reputation was earned with that very weapon so leaving it out leaves out the memory of how they achieved the glory they did. So
sacking all behind this would be the right thing to do and as a warning to others. Meanwhile the newspapers hate groups rolled out a new accusation of a atrocity of the same diggers who gave their all for this country on their one holy day. All of WWI was an atrocity but mainly for the many thousands of Aussies it removed.
Its national patriotism that triggers these virtue signalling scum as we are meant to be divided now other races are replacing us. We are a proud people yet with no ‘race’ in the Ozzie law books legally unlike Pakis, kiddy killer Jews (celebrated) and all the rest. We need to be finally recognised as the ‘original’ white Aussie descendants, the ones who actually made the place great and what it is today and as a separate sovereign people to blowins with the special rights that entails.
True Blues Aussies would do for now, ‘To Be Announced’ as Aussie is corrupted and now has a mongrels meaninglessness about it, so Lest we forget-ALL OF IT!
I wish that they could ban the bombs and bullets used in the genocide of Gazans.
British Australian Doctor REVEALS TRUTH from Gaza
obvious_bob said – “… It is all well and good to commemorate our fallen, but when the government still refuses to take proper care of our returned vets their phoney solemnity just does not cut it…”
The front-line lower ranking uniformed members of the so-called Australian Defence Force are expendable assets, just cannon-fodder to feed to foreign cannons, always were, always will be. When it comes to “looking after” the interests of the soldiers, everything – and that means EVERYTHING – is adversarial and managed by literal teams of “government” barristers who are Hell-bent on ensuring that not one red cent gets spent on any uppity military lemming.
Just examine the true history behind the Voyager disaster and the subsequent treatment of its victims to gain some appreciation of that. The so-called Defence Department strategy for dealing with the numerous compensation claims was to use every possible underhanded delaying tactic to drag the legal cases out until the surviving casualties all died either from their injuries or old age. And so they did.
I’m a combat vet that just gave a speech at our ANZAC service. Then I get home and read this article. I’m so over worthless bureaucrats making idiotic decisions.
Here is a link to a video I helped with the evidence (I’m a retired barrister) to illustrate what really happened at the Port Arthur Massacre. In the comments to that video is one scene from the full length screenplay I wrote.
I want some of you readers from Queensland to forward the link to the idiots that made this ‘politically correct’ decision (send it to everyone you can). Tell them that if they contact me I will send them a copy of the full screenplay. If they read it they ‘should’ realize that they are/were working for the ‘bad guys’ that took part in the massacre.

It won’t let me give the thumbs up to anyone, so it might be a program problem
Two Big ‘THUMBS UP’ to JASE for your comment 👍👍
So what happens if said bureaucrats are ignored?
Like it or not, mass disobedience is the only thing that’s ever going to put the brakes on government lawlessness: give it an inch and it’ll take a mile
God bless our Military past and present
Do you remember when they locked out our Victorian Diggers on ANZAC Day with fences, but allowed 85,000 attend the AFL on ANZAC Day
This BS is just going to continue
You can’t vote yourself out of a broken system
The whole cabal system needs to be taken down and replaced by the new Constitutional ‘Republic of Australia’
Imagine how our ANZAC’s would feel if they saw the state Australia was in.
Imagine how our ANZAC’s would feel to know Australia is too sound asleep to care, and just keep following orders from selected bureaucrats.

Some 15 years ago a local man wrote a letter to the paper about ANZAC Day, saying that originally the march was a protest at the government’s refusal to award returned soldiers their proper entitlements.
It is all well and good to commemorate our fallen, but when the government still refuses to take proper care of our returned vets their phoney solemnity just does not cut it.
One Vietnam vet from here was so badly treated by Veterans Affairs that he went to their office and ranted at them and then shot himself with his service listol, right there in the foyer of Vets Affairs,

Remember > ANZAC DAY – This was my Note from 2023
In Australian Government Anzac Day Tributes they tell us “The year 2023 marks the 50 Anniversary of the end of Australia’s involvement in Vietnam War. “
“The year 2023 also marks the 70th Anniversary of the end of the Korean War, where, like Vietnam, Australian troops FOUGHT TO STOP THE SPREAD OF TOTALITARIAN AGGRESSION throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Their sacrifice is why Australia HAS THE FREEDOMS WE ALL ENJOY TODAY; why we have OUR SOVEREIGNTY.”
“This Anzac Day we remember and give thanks for the service of all those who have fought for our freedoms, and we give thanks for all those serving our country today.”
“ANZACS – Australian troops FOUGHT TO STOP THE SPREAD OF TOTALITARIAN AGGRESSION throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Their sacrifice is why Australia HAS THE FREEDOMS WE ALL ENJOY TODAY; why we have OUR SOVEREIGNTY.”

“THEY FAKED A PANDEMIC TO INSTALL TOTALITARIANISM.”
Who committed this crime against humanity?
ELIZABETH HART
JAN 06, 2024
In a recent substack article, h ttps://sagehana.substack.com/p/im-not-in-your-fake-not-a-movement
Sage Hana said: “THEY FAKED A PANDEMIC TO INSTALL TOTALITARIANISM.”
This is a succinct summary of the Covid debacle…
So who was behind this? Who are the actors who facilitated ‘Covid’ stealing the peoples’ personal autonomy and bodily integrity via the imposition of restrictions/lockdowns, testing, masking/muzzling, vaccines, and surveillance?
We need to build a list of those who were complicit in the betrayal of the people, complicit in the theft of freedom.
For instance, Greg Hunt, who was Australia’s Health Minister during the bulk of the ‘Covid’ scam.
Prior to entering the Australian Parliament in 2001, Greg Hunt was the Director of Global Strategy of the World Economic Forum 2000-2001 – responsible for the development of global strategy for the WEF, working directly to the CEO, and during 1999-2001 he was Engagement Manager – McKinsey & Co, providing specialist advice in telecommunications, start-ups, government reform and the banking sector.
How many other WEF associates such as Hunt ‘penetrated zee cabinets’ around the world, after which we ended up with a fake pandemic to install totalitarianism?

Lib, Nat, Lab, Grn, Tl, all the same swamp behind the Boof heads that show up on the TV and social media, nothing will change until accountability starts.
No matter who you vote for, the over paid, unelected, impractical charlatans are the ones pushing the buttons.
Follow the money and you may find blackmail.
Find the blackmail, you will probably find child exploitation and child murder.
All sick freaks, seaking power and brown paper bags.
The article headline – “… Soulless Brisbane bureaucrats ban guns from Anzac Day events…”
… neglects to mention “unelected”.
Not that your “vote” would matter anyway.
And what’s the bet, folks, that said “bureaucrat” was also EXEMPTED from the compulsory fake “vaccine” Bioweapon injections? Anyone noticing a pattern here?
