⚠️ Gelball & Skirmish in Australia is on the line ⚠️

Under Schedule 6, Part 2, Item 14B (Skirmish Markers) of the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956, gelball blasters are being treated as fi****ms for import purposes. This change appears to have been introduced without meaningful consultation with the industry or community.

Important:
This does NOT affect players or ownership in Queensland.
However, it does impact the importation of items that are considered substantially the same in appearance as a fully automatic firearm.

While this might not sound significant at first, these items are the most commonly used equipment in the sport and hobby. Restricting their import threatens the future growth and sustainability of the gelball and skirmish community.

This issue is about more than just a hobby. It impacts:

• Mental health and wellbeing for many participants
• A legitimate and growing sport
• Small Australian businesses and local jobs
• Retailers, fields and industry operators
• The Australian film and creative industries (props, cosplay and movie production)

If we stay silent, the industry disappears quietly.

If we act — respectfully and in numbers — politicians take notice.

⏱ Take 5 minutes and send an email

Best strategy:
Email your local Federal MP and at least 2–3 Queensland Senators.

This helps show that:
✅ The issue affects the whole state
✅ There is real community concern
✅ Respectful, personalised messages carry weight

📢 What you can do

• Email your MP and Senators (see template in comments section below)
• Share this post
• Encourage friends and family to send emails

Respectful, coordinated action gets attention.

Silence won’t save the industry — but speaking up might.
