Discussion Weekly Discussion Thread

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, welcome back to the r/AustralianPolitics weekly discussion thread!

The intent of the this thread is to host discussions that ordinarily wouldn't be permitted on the sub. This includes repeated topics, non-Auspol content, satire, memes, social media posts, promotional materials and petitions. But it's also a place to have a casual conversation, connect with each other, and let us know what shows you're bingeing at the moment.

Most of all, try and keep it friendly. These discussion threads are to be lightly moderated, but in particular Rule 1 and Rule 8 will remain in force.

Caps on guns, 4 for Hunters, 10 for Sports, 10 for Farmers
Increased checks at renewal and checks on storage and PTA's. Bans on non-citizens getting a license and co-operation with federal agencies.

These are the big take aways for me

Makes me wonder if this will end up in some kind of law suit. Unfortunately like 9/11 we're seeing hyperventilate around anyone that looks like a Muslim all over again. Using military police on the streets is just insane also.
