Foxy,

"When voters are unhappy with the major parties
they are looking to give their vote to someone else.
Enter the Greens, the Independents, et al."

That's precisely why John Tingle started the Shooters' Party, supporters of the Libs and the Country parties, who were also gun owners/shooters were annoyed at the knee-jerk reactions of the Coalition and particularly of the sellout by the Country Party, the Country Party was almost wiped out as a result.

The SF&F Party is without blemish in their carrying out of their Parliamentary duties and their obligations to their constituents and to the voters at large.

Paul,

Put up or shut up.

The Shooters' Party still exists, does it? We don't have such things in straight-laced SA; we prefer to vegetate and get the dropkicks we deserve.

I recall seeing on TV a politician from the SP taking an anti-shooting madwoman out pig shooting. I enjoyed the way he dealt with her.

ttbn,

It's now known as The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party and it has
3 MPs in NSW, 2 in Victoria and 1 in WA.

None of the MPs have ever been tainted by any allegations of corruption, misuse of public money, under payment of staff or any of the other things that some other politicians get up to.

They are all honest men who do a good job.

The Australian chapter of the foreign NRA is funneling cash into the pockets of right wing Australian political parties, in an attempt to bring in American style "no gun laws" to this country. Shameful!

"Australian Electoral Commission returns show that since 2010 the state branches of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia have poured $440,800 into supporting the KAP, the Shooters Fishers and Farmers party and the Liberal Democratic party among others."

Where is the dosh coming from?

Or they just haven't been caught yet. They're politicians, so I know which one I consider more likely.

There is an "Australian chapter" of the NRA? What is KAP? Wouldn't the "dosh" be coming from SSAA members? I reckon Paul is an American plant, spelling 'channelling' the American way (missing an 'l' as he does.
