Recently I was combing through some old topics, and realized that no new info has been revealed about the battle for the legalization of airsoft in Australia. So does any one have any new information or any thing of the sort? Also, you can use this post to just show off your equiptment and make us Aussies jealous
Remember, any input is good input!
Off you go!

I've been looking at applying for a firearms license here and the application process takes far too long and is over complicated. I can't be bothered. Easier to buy one illegally off Terry down the pub.

Plus they just banned powerful lasers here so you can't even have a cool attachment like they do in the movies.

They also ban slingshots with arm-straps. I know, mate tried to import one and got an angry letter from Customs. You just know the guys at Customs are slinging shit at each other right now.

Yeah. Probably slinging shit they aimed at with laser pointers.

Why would you vote into power people that take away anything remotely fun?

I read just yesterday that there is a vote in the Qld parliament in December 08 about the legality of Airsoft in the specific state. Apparently if it gets through there then there'll be a nationwide push.

I want an airsoft P90 and Beretta so I can be my own Airsoft SG Team memeber.

There are a lot of things that aren't legal in Oz.

A little bit of spirited driving? Nope, yank the license without any questions asked.

I'd love to live in Oz, but there are some laws there that make me scratch my head. Maybe New Zealand ...

My uncle toured Asia last Winter and said he hated Australia. He also said watch out for the chavs that jump you in the night, but at NZ he had "the time of my life".

He compared it to Wales actually. I want to go now.

Never been to Wales, so I wouldn't know. I just know there's a whole lot of nothing ...

I got two friends from Brisbane and my girlfriend's aunt and uncle live in Melbourne. I heard Sydney is the worst part of the country, though. Minus Canberra.

First porn, then lasers, then slingshots, now airsoft?

Quickly, children! Build a boat and row away before they ban them too!

Australia probably has some of the worst censorship and general nanny state banning of all the countries in the developed world. Actually, it's not like LED countries are going to have strict rules on this. So probably one of the worst in the world, full stop. That's what you get when you develop out of a prison country

More like that's what you get when a single, shite, political party gets control of all the parliaments in the nation.

I can't believe they banned my laser.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

He should have learned where not to go then.

In Sydney, steer clear primarily of Redfern.
In Melbourne, stay in the Eastern Suburbs or in CBD and you'll be fine. Do not go to Footscray. Do not use alleys.

If you see large, ugly, rectangular buildings with tons of windows and clothes drying, that's government housing. Steer clear as well.
