Paul,

How could I object to the Emperor's proposal, this is the first post that I've made since he posted his proposal?

Actually he is talking sense but as the Firearms Act stands the rifle clubs are the only legal entity that can manage a range, except a private range on private property; such a range is subject to the same rules as ranges on State/Federal property.

A simple solution would be to abolish the need for compulsory attendance.

Hi Is Mise,

I think we all know that we are wasting our time here. The NSWRA have a 50 year lease to use the ANZAC Rifle Range. Target shooting is an Olympic and Commonwealth Games sport. It’s also one of the safest sports. The range users pay close to $350/year plus range attendance fees.

fyi, I made a submission to the Commonwealth Dept of Finance and the Randwick Council a few years back that proposed the transfer of this land to NSW Sports and Rec for use as a rifle range, equestrian center and general purpose sports facility. I did not receive a reply.
