On the nail mate. I have recently sent an email to Nicole McKee asking her to pose some questions to the Minister of Police. No license holder should be adversely impacted by Police inefficiency in processing renewal applications.Quote:

Yeah well it's because they don't WANT to issue licenses where as LT are ambivalent and will issue if you meet the legislated criteriaQuote:

1 Prob take a year at least to get it.(wont matter if it takes 2)
2 Wouldnt surprise me if the licence only gets harder and costs more as time goes on so getting in as soon as possible is a good idea.
3. Heard rumours the Government wants to change it to 5 years and not 10 down the track ....
4 Got a speeding ticket, 55km in 50 km zone, wait 3 years to do it might have 2, may be deemed not a fit and proper person..........
I've heard of people attempting to apply 1 or 2 years in advance to try and circumvent the delays. Police have refused their applications as being too early. Seems you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.Quote:

Best I could get was that I had applied before it expired (applied in early December) so it should be fine...
Lucky I am practicing as often as I can with my Bow....
ok a week short of applying last year mine turned up today
I wonder if they can actually do that. It's not up to them when you decide to apply. As they are administering the arms act, they need to process the license renewals, which you PAY for.Quote:

Probably not but like the current government they seem content to make things up as they go along. I've thought about an OIA request, but probably best for me not to stir the pot at this point (6 months into renewal process, still no inspection or vetting).Quote:

I See Nicole McKee, ACT MP has been rarking up the Police about it.
The delays aren't everywhere, a female friend received her first time licence in just under four weeks.
Was she an aussie
I am currently getting the run around with the Arms office - my licence expires Sunday - no vetting appointments made yet so no way it will be renewed in time. Arms office won't tell me what that means for me from Sunday in terms of pest control on the farm or hunting - I was previously told I could request a letter stating that I had applied on time and it would effectively act as an extension - trying to request the letter and being told oh your application is in process and is just waiting on vetting - so wait for that.
weathers changing, word has it that a few regions are starting to get the early roars now.... don't want to miss out again!
I requested and email saying mine was still valid and they sent me one no problems
i received an email from nicole yesterday. my issue was that allot of acts policy and reporting was done on facebook only.Quote:

Is it a coincidence that people are going through the same rigmarole in Aussie?
What region?Quote:

When I was talking to the license people they said not all areas had vetting people and I was lucky cause our area had one

My referees have their interviews at the end of the month. I thought they'd want to see me at the same time, but apparently not.
Latest from Newshub details frustration of game bird hunters. Lolice are saying applications should be made at leadt four months in advance. COLFO is onto it.

Yup that particular Arms officer is excellent. She does everything she can to help. It took about 4 weeks for my renewal last yearQuote:

My wife waited 11.5 months for her interview, this was license renewal. Another month and they interviewed her referee. And still we wait... Good thing our licences are staggered about 5 years apart, we may be able to cover for each other having an expired licence.
For me, although not negatively impacted by this disgraceful set of episodes right now; I find myself very concerned and saddened for my loved country and the now lost trust in govefnment fair play and respect towards we citizens. Very concerned and dissappointed withthe outcomes I am reading about. Why are such unjust time frames being tolerated by our Prime Minister, Governor General and Labour Caucus? We obey the processes of law but what then is our treatment? What is amiss?
@Woody, do you really think this Govt care about the license renewal timeframe, maybe a few more may decide to give up their license, whose agenda would that suit.Quote:
