Bugsy,

"Just because you say that there are no physical disabilities you can think of that would render a person unsuitable for firearms ownership (as opposed to firearms use), does not mean that there aren't any. That is why the section is there, legislation should be in neutral language. It does not appear to preclude quadraplegics specifically, but it shouldn't not preclude any disability specifically"

There are no physical disabilities that would render a person unfit to own a firearm period, nil, nyet, zilch.

The Greens only put it in there to fill out a paragraph or to emphasize their pathological fear of guns and hatred of their owners.
These crypto communists hypocrites attack the very people who are actively doing something to help protect our native wildlife, every fox shot equals thousands of native animals saved from being killed and eaten.
No wonder the Greens are known as 'Watermellons', Green on the outside and Red in the middle.

Paulene Hanson believes in exterminating foxes and in so doing helping to preserve our unique Australian fauna.

Is Mise:

Pauline Hanson believes in exterminating foxes and protecting our native animals? That's very commendable. Does she have a policy on how
foxes should be exterminated? Shooting them is helpful, but its likely to only remove a small proportion of foxes (as only foxes that are easily seen, are shot). Spotlighting usually underestimates the fox population. There's also the added problem that fox and rabbit hunting incidents alone have claimed lives. Hunting deaths occur every year and that's a rather high price to pay. Perhaps what Ms Hanson should be supporting is proper training for shooters, like a six month TAFE training course with genuine written examinations. It may be more beneficial to train shooters properly by setting standards to ensure both shooter and public safety.

Again, they do not use the word 'disability'.

They refer to 'reliable evidence of a mental or
physical condition which would render the applicant
unsuitable for owning, possessing or using a firearm'.

Disability is your word. Way to go, strawman.

Lexi,
what you need to understand is that someone who has worked for a living i.e. like Pauline Hanson in a Fish'n Chips Shop, has a far more realistic view of daily life than say a school teacher who has others do the thinking for them.

Quite right, Bugsy, so what physical condition would render a person unsuitable for owning a firearm?

If there is a strawman around then he's decidedly Green.

I will say right out that such a condition does not exist and that there is no way that the NSW Greens can justify such a statement in their policy.
Nor can you or any one else give a legal or a logical reason why a physical condition would render a person unfit to own a firearm.

The Greens are advocating discrimination on physical condition which is just a mite unfair, but in fairness to the Greens I think that their attitude is based on ignorance rather than malice.

Evening Lexi, all you say in regard to the contribution migrants have made to this country is valid. You are of course talking about post war migration, a time when we had a job for all who came rather than the migration over the last thirty years, one not driven by our commonwealths need but driven by the illogical self harming protocols that our treasonous pollies signed at the UN.

Many of my sons friends cannot get secure full employment, two kids, both carpentry apprentices had multiple employers last year because nothing is getting built, so they get put off, one still has not found employment this year. So what chance the immigrant from the second or third world? Lexi the current immigration flow serves only big business, it provides them with a growing consumer market, funded by welfare and the shifty cash economy that the Arab and Chinese new chums run amongst themselves when they reach critical mass, and they have.
