Transcript

00:00The property letter system was flawed and open for abuse. It needed to change

00:04or not exist at all. However, the changes introduced in the

00:08new Firearms Act are more vulnerable to abuse and manipulation. These changes

00:12rely on the numbers and types of animals that need to be managed as reported by a

00:16department that is under constant pressure, understaffed and undersupported.

00:20This system is supposed to support an industry, agriculture, but the Labor

00:25Government seems intent on dismantling the agricultural industry. That's why we,

00:30the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party of West Australia, will introduce a bill

00:34to allow hunting on public lands through a permit and tag system, much like other

00:38states. Additionally, we will advocate for club support to extend to these

00:42hunting practices, because what really matters is that you're a part of a

00:46supportive community that prioritises safety, fosters conservation and

00:50connection to the land.

00:56The new Firearms Act reform is more than just a change in regulations. It's a shift that can

01:00undermine the relationship between producers and conservation hunters.

01:05The reliance on a pressured and underfunded department to report on animal

01:08management is not only flawed, but dangerous to our biosecurity. This Labor

01:13Government seems focused on dismantling the agricultural industry rather than

01:17supporting it. That's why the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party of WA is

01:21taking action. We are pushing for a system that empowers producers and

01:25conservation hunters, not one that divides them. A bill for hunting on

01:29public lands and extending club support to these practices is our next step in

01:33protecting our land and our way of life. Join me and the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers

01:38Party in fighting against these overreachers.
