Licensed Status Exposes System Failure, Not a Need for Knee-Jerk Gun Laws

The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party (SFF) says the response to the recent violent extremist attack must focus on system failure, not scapegoating lawful fi***rm owners to cover government inaction.

Yes, the offender was licensed — and that makes the failure more serious, not less.

Authorities had visibility. They had powers to monitor, suspend or revoke licences. Those powers were not acted on as extremist behaviour escalated.

Licensing did not cause this attack. Extremism did.
This was not a gap in the law — it was a gap in intervention.

“This attack was driven by extremist ideology, not by fi****ms licensing,” said Victorian SFF MLC Jeff Bourman. “When radicalisation emerges, authorities must intervene early. Ignoring warning signs and blaming the law after the fact is not public safety.”

Existing fi****ms laws already allow authorities to act when warning signs emerge. If those mechanisms had been used, this incident may have been prevented. The problem was not permission — it was inaction.

“This was not a gap in Australia’s fi****ms laws,” said NSW SFF MLC Robert Borsak. “The powers already exist. The failure was that they were not used.”

Attempts to pivot toward fi***rm caps, category restrictions or Western Australia-style administrative crackdowns distract from the real issue. This was a radicalisation and security failure, not a numbers problem.

“Western Australia-style laws punish compliance without addressing violent extremism,” said NSW SFF MLC Mark Banasiak. “They may look tough, but they won’t prevent attacks.”

Australia already has some of the strictest fi****ms laws in the world. Further punishing compliant, licensed fi***rm owners will not fix failures in intelligence, early intervention or enforcement.

“Lawful fi***rm owners should not be scapegoated to cover government failure,” said Tasmanian SFF MLA Carlo Di Falco. “Punishing people who followed the law does nothing to improve public safety.”

The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party supports strong action against violent extremism, proper use of existing powers, and accountability where authorities failed to act. We do not support symbolic lawmaking designed to look tough while avoiding hard questions.

Great to see Mark Banasiak from SFF visiting one of our member clubs the other day, Clarence Valley Hunting Club. If you want Mark to come and talk to your club members at a meeting or event, you can give him a message on his page.

National Parks and Wildlife Service shooters used up to 15 bullets to kill individual horses during an aerial cull of 270 brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park.

As the NSW state election is upon us we wrote to leaders of all parties including, minor and independent crossbench members. We asked them key questions important to our member clubs and members. Given that we only received responses from SFF, Roy Bulter and Phil Donato, and no others it is clear that fi***rm owners and hunters cannot rely on anyone but the above for support. Interestingly Mark Latham representing One Nation who put forward policies on hunting, fi****ms and fishing recently that was heavily plagarised from SFF refused to respond. So clearly highlighting that he has no intention of truly supporting fi***rm owners and hunters. Place your vote wisely this election.
