The English Bill of Rights of 1688 includes a clause stating that “Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law”. This provision was not a broad grant of the right to bear arms for all, but rather a specific allowance for Protestants, who were perceived as loyal subjects, to possess weapons for self-defense, with limitations based on their social standing and the legal context.
The 1688 Bill of Rights allows for a standing army or a citizens militia to be formed “By raising and keeping a Standing Army within this Kingdome in time of Peace without Consent of Parlyament and Quartering Soldiers contrary to Law.”
The Bill of Rights 1689 remains a part of Australian law, however in some states the Bill has been re-enacted in local legislation.
In Queensland Katters Australian Party has introduced Castle Law bill which gives property owners the right to defend themselves against home invaders with any means available without legal ramifications.
Which means home owners could defend themselves with a firearm under the provisions of the bill, which the Liberal National government seems to find unpalatable.
Good one Brian. Ed
When Mein Trumpf tells Elbow to send half the Australian “Defence” force to Romania and the other half to the Persian Gulf, we will be left like dodo birds with no means of defence because the government wants us dead, Deagel said the population will be cut by 1/3 this year and Elbow has been bringing in low-wage “replacements” as fast as he can, anywhere cheap and expendable they are handing out visas. The trouble is Elbow and the G-G don’t even know what the plan is that they are part of, except the general plan which is depop and 6uild 6ack 6etter. Elbow and the G-G will be in their bunkers with all sorts of new tech weaponry as well as special forces while we dodo birds who paid for it all are running around looking for a pointed stick to fight with.
Elbow does not have a defence strategy which means his plan is for us to be over-run. We are banned from having any sort of deterrent. These shifty, grinning salesmen of the ALP never speak a word of truth and if you listen to Buttler he will tell you to get injected too.
What part of “You will have nothing, but you will be happy” do we not understand?
Great Discussion … a citizen army of AKs.
We can treat them with love and mercy after we disable them, ensuring our safety.
Cant shoot someone in self defence.
Cant shoot unwanted race horses.
The state can shoot brumbies from helicopters.
And post birth abortion is legal. And allowed to take hours.
Can you imagine the outcry if you took a hour to strangle a dog.
How in the hell did we get there.
I could recommend a very good book
Gun Fight by Adam Winkler. Hardcover.
The battle over the right to bear arms in America.
I have a copy given to me as a gift.
Brilliant.
After the ‘Covid’ BS, maybe people are more awake to the machinations of the government. Perhaps NOW, the Aussie population would be willing to really look at what happened at the Port Arthur Massacre. – Hello, reality is calling…

“It was not a confiscation of the guns, Topher, but a buy-back.” – Yeah, a FORCED ‘buy-back’ paid through the health system, you know, for your HEALTH!
obvious bob said – “… the government, if it does not deal with the dangerous immigrants they have brought here, then every Parliamentarian who voted for the immigration policy must accept full commercial liability…”
But what about the NOT dangerous immigrants?
A bit hard to pin anyone for commercial liability for 3 MILLION immigrants flooding into the country EACH YEAR and just going about their daily lives being people, isn’t it? A hard-working dad and his loving faithful wife and 15 kids is hardly “dangerous”. And good luck making any such argument stick once the pollie demographic decisively shifts by sheer weight of the “voting” population.
Point being it’s not importing “criminals” that is the objective or the danger here, it’s WEAPONISED MASS MIGRATION to overwhelm and REPLACE us. And at this rate it will SUCCEED in only five to ten years, and once it’s done, it’s DONE – FOREVER.
Like I keep saying, while notices of liability might alarm some individuals into “stepping down” and vacating their lucrative gigs for the next eagerly waiting incumbent, it won’t actually FIX the problem. But it’s a start.
A more enduring remediation of our situation, if it comes at all, will perhaps involve servicing a great many needy clients with sturdy ropes and lamp posts.
John Ruddick hit the nail on the head as far as legislation and Constitutions go. Referendumed Constitutions are Law, because that is legislation that is a contract consented to by a majority of the people. Legislations is NOT Law because the consent has not been achieved. The only way legislation can have applicability i if it is inthe express interests of the people, otherwise I would repudiate it if anyone tried to use that legislation on me, in some way.
The other thing I would suggest to Ruddick is that he state, in the Parliament-because he seems like he IS true blue-that the government, if it does not deal with the dangerous immigrants they have brought here, then every Parliamentarian who voted for the immigration policy must accept full commercial liability for compensation to the loved ones of the victim, which might see a turnaround in the immigration policy (policy inescapably comes with liability attached!) if the Parliament are saddled with that liability.
This liability thing is something I want to Lawfully Notice my federal member, Richard Marles, about.
John Ruddick is on the right track, for sure, and I am going to phone his office tomorrow, t have a talk to his people, having rung his Chief of Staff already, today, and left a message.
It was not a confiscation of the guns, Topher, but a buy-back.
I’ve read that in Switzerland, things have changed. The only homes with military type rifles are those with one or more family member on active duty in the military. Don’t know about other types of rifles…
In the context of the current war fever we should all be at least as well armed as the citizens of Swissyland who all have guns at home, however, we should have an updated 2nd amendment compelling us to keep high-powered automatic rifles as well as killer drones so if we are invaded the invaders will pay a heavy price, not like now where it will just be a walk-over. We need the capacity to take out 50:1 including drones. Sure a few people will get shot initially, everyone else will learn “respect”, like they have in Texas. If this doesn’t happen the government is not serious about defence, like they are not serious about anything including but not limited to: health, housing, interest rates, spending, climate, the truth, etc.
The author said – “… In Queensland Katters Australian Party has introduced Castle Law bill which gives property owners the right to defend themselves against home invaders with any means available without legal ramifications…”
The fake foreign-owned corporate “government’s” anti-energy policies and unreliable renewables are clearly designed to neuter any self-defence with an electric chainsaw or electric wood-chipper or electric brush cutter, and Lord knows how much trouble you can have starting up their fuel-driven equivalents.
So it’s back to good old-fashioned remedies like baseball bats, torches & pitchforks, well-honed hatchets and boning knives now, folks. And sturdy rope and easy access to a local lamp post. Make sure to have them all handy at your bedside.
And maybe install a lever-tripped stake pit under your front porch to deal with those difficult clients. And buy an attack Dragon if you can afford to feed it.
Or maybe just become homeless, so you’ve got nothing to defend anyway.
Because after all, guns are verbotten here in Wombat Land. Little Johnny Arthur said so, and besides, what would the children think?
