Keeping our ranges safe takes ongoing work.

This footage from Friday shows replacing the deteriorated timber overhead louvres on Range 4 at SSAA Victoria’s Springvale range.

Both Ranges 3 and 4 are having this work completed over the next two weeks as part of our ongoing maintenance to uphold safety standards at our facilities.

Thanks to the Schipper Constructions team for getting stuck into it.

The elites who dismiss Victoria’s shooters and hunters often have little idea who they’re actually dismissing.

In our latest podcast, Jeff Bourman MP makes an important point about the people who make up the shooting and hunting community.

A large proportion are ordinary wage earners...tradies, workers and families...particularly across outer suburban and regional Victoria.

In other words, they are mainstream working Victorians. And they are voters.

Many live in the very outer suburban and regional electorates where elections are won and lost.

It’s easy to dismiss shooters and hunters from inside the political and cultural bubble. It’s much harder to ignore them when you understand who they are, where they live and the numbers they represent.

🎙️ 12 Years in the Red Morgue: Spring St According to Jeff Bourman

Jeff Bourman MP - Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party has spent 12 years in Victoria’s Parliament...long enough to have accumulated plenty of stories about the politics, personalities, wins and frustrations of Spring Street.

In our latest podcast, Jeff looks back over those 12 years, talks candidly about working with and against governments and oppositions, and reflects on what he has learned about how Parliament really works.

As he explains in this clip, sometimes politics isn’t personal...even when the disagreements are.

And while this podcast looks back, Jeff certainly isn’t calling time. With Victoria’s new Upper House voting system, continuing his parliamentary career from here presents an Everest-sized challenge.

This fight is not over.

Victoria’s new citizenship requirement for fi***rm licence holders remains one of the most concerning elements of the Fi****ms Amendment Bill.

SSAA Victoria has opposed it from the outset. We believe it is unfair to existing permanent residents who have lawfully held fi***rm licences...including people for whom becoming an Australian citizen may mean giving up the citizenship of their country of birth.

One Nation’s support for our position may have surprised some people, but on this issue it was welcome. They listened to the concern, engaged with the detail and opposed the citizenship requirement.

In our latest podcast, we look at what happened, where the parties landed and why SSAA Victoria’s advocacy on this issue is far from finished.

H5N1 is a serious issue. It also hasn’t taken long for the usual rent seekers to latch onto it.

In the latest SSAA Victoria News, the team discuss why the potential arrival of H5N1 needs a serious, evidence-based response...and why it shouldn’t become an excuse to abandon established game-management processes.

But that’s just one part of a big episode.

We unpack the Fi****ms Amendment Bill and what happens next with citizenship and AusCheck; the new Outdoor Recreation authority; our Parliamentarians and Staffers Range Day and Hunters for the Hungry; and the approaching Victorian election and electoral reform.

Victorian MPs were warned.

They legislated it anyway.

A fortnight ago, Labor and the Coalition backed a new citizenship requirement for fi***rm licensing - a measure that could ultimately strip licences from thousands of law-abiding Victorian shooters.

It was sold as a public-safety response following the horrific Bondi terrorist attack.

But today’s reporting in The Australian exposes just how badly that response misses the point.

The real question was never Sajid Akram’s passport.

The real question is how he was assessed as suitable to hold a fi***rm licence and allowed to legally acquire six fi***rms.

His licence application took three years to approve. The “backlog” explanation is now under serious question. He and his son had previously come to the attention of ASIO. And there are now serious questions about what happened inside the NSW licensing system before his licence was ultimately granted.

These are questions about policing, intelligence sharing, risk assessment and the proper application of existing fi***rm laws.

They are not questions about citizenship.

SSAA Victoria opposed the citizenship requirement and warned Victorian MPs that citizenship is a poor proxy for whether somebody is a fit and proper person to possess fi***rms.

Labor and the Coalition waved it through anyway.

It was politically easy. It sounded tough. And it allowed politicians to say they were “doing something”.

But taking licences from law-abiding permanent residents does precisely nothing to explain, let alone fix, the apparent failures that allowed Akram to become licensed in the first place.

Victorian MPs who voted for this change need to answer a simple question:

How does taking a fi***rm licence from a law-abiding permanent resident make Victorians safer if the actual failure was the system allowing a genuine risk to be licensed?

Good fi***rm laws target risk.

Bad fi***rm laws target people who have done nothing wrong because it makes for an easier political position.
