Western Australia Firearms Licence Holders

For cartridge connoisseurs, the early 1960s was a monumental time period with the launch of two of the most successful big-game cartridges of our time, the 7mm Re*****on Magnum and .300 Wi******er Magnum. Naturally, the two cartridges have been pitted against each other since their inception. Sixty years later, each cartridge has rightfully amassed a loyal following. So what are the important factors when comparing the 7mm Rem Mag vs .300 Win Mag?

Both cartridges are long-action magnum cartridges capable of taking all of North America’s big game. Both offer a wide variety of bullet weights and configurations. There are also a wide variety of ri**es chambered in each. Put plainly, the two cartridges are similar, but the .300 Win Mag is capable of using heavier bullets while the 7mm Rem Mag produces less felt recoil.

Both cartridges exhibit certain strengths and weaknesses when you start to nitpick. Depending on your hunting aspirations, one may fit your needs better than the other.

And the left have the cheek to say we spread misinformation.

Good to see Luke Herdegen for Secret Harbour - One Nation call it out.

[[UPDATE: Luke has now confirmed he’s in touch with the handover team. Excellent. The keyring crisis appears to have been peacefully resolved.]]

I receive a lot of messages.

Some people want my opinion on something. Some send documents or little bits of insider information. Some just want to tell me I’m an idiot, which is fair... and, every so often, I get the occasional death threat.

So when a message arrives asking me to help an elected MP collect his office keys, it does stand out.

Apparently the Secret Harbour electorate office has been cleared, cleaned and made ready for incoming One Nation MP Luke Herdegen. Staff have done the handover work, the old signage is down, and the place is sitting there waiting for its new occupant.

The problem is Luke.

We’re told they’ve tried calling him.

Parliament has allegedly tried calling him.

He allegedly isn’t answering.

There are actual procedures that need to happen before an electorate office can properly change hands. Keys, access, systems, paperwork, the usual machinery of government quietly grinding away in the background.

So, having exhausted the traditional channels of parliamentary communication, they’ve now tried something different.

They’ve asked Australia’s most handsome political commentator to post about it on Facebook in the hope Luke sees it.

Which, I have to say, is a magnificent escalation pathway.

So Luke, if this reaches you, give the handover team a ring and go grab your keys.

To the several One Nation MP's who follow the jar, call your mate.

There are people waiting to finish the handover, their time is being wasted.

Democracy has many moving parts.

At present, one of them appears to have his phone on silent.

Same situation here

Behind closed doors

Licensed owners usually only see the finished article or the public statement. A lot of COLFO’s work sits in the middle: polite, persistent follow-up until someone actually answers the question.

Recently we pressed Minister Mitchell after the Fi****ms Safety Authority’s reply to our letter. Their multi-page response restated the fit-and-proper framework and the review pathways. It did not answer the two questions we asked:

What checks and balances stop licensed owners from being targeted for speech that has not met the criminal threshold for prosecution?

What is the practical line between speech that may justify administrative action against a licence, and speech that belongs in the criminal justice system?

Put simply: if the line is not legal versus illegal speech, where is the line?

That is why we sent it back. Advocacy is often tedious. It can annoy people in power. It takes dozens of messages to get one clear answer. Members fund that work so it happens whether or not it makes a splash.

Don't fall for it. Its about censorship under the guise of "think of the children!"
