    mainly due to the Port Arthur tragedy. if any thing pro firearm comes up the antis come up with-please remember port Arthur, what about the families etc and yet there are drive by shootings every week in western Sydney by gangs. doesn't stop them.
    I never got my Firearms license over there to much of a PITA.
    You need permission in writing from a landowner to go shooting on their property which you require for the sporting classification vs the target stuff you do at the range which unless you are super rural and a long way away from must do similar to our pistol club you have to do as well. So many shoots per class per year etc
    different classes between rimfire/shotguns and centerfires.
    In the last few years they brought down the waiting period for purchasing a firearm from 6 odd weeks to only a few days for any after the first firearm, then it is still 6-8 weeks I think for the first one
    Nothing over 9mm (I think) in the pistol clubs, pump action rifles ok, pump action shotties bad.
    Full registration
    If a cocky gave permission to too many shooters the cops were known to ask why the farmer needs his firearms license (which he can have as a primary producer) If he has so many shooters.
    It goes on and on.
    Did I say Muppets?
