The meeting has begun.
Two have entered. One will leave.
gillard is worst than Rudd. Australia is doomed
Some background on her would be nice.
I wonder which one is the least gun grabbing leftist goon?
The question is, which one would be stronger in the general election?
Gun politics is different in Australia - it’s not particularly linked to left or right. Sometimes American conservatives seem to think this is a worldwide litmus test. It’s not in most countries.
Sounds like another obozo socialist radical...
“At university, Gillard was a student activist and supported a range of left-wing causes. She rose to be head of the radical Australian Union of Students and acted as a senior official in the Socialist Forum.”

Gillard right now - she is more popular than Rudd - but I think that will change as people realise just how far to the left she is. As Deputy Prime Minister, she hasn’t been expressing her own views.
Australia, like England, has already outlawed ownership of guns (and knives)...
Wikipedia:
""Gillard was also formerly the secretary of the left-wing organisation, Socialist Forum...
She was responsible for drafting the affirmative action rules within the Labor Party in Victoria, setting the target of women being preselected in 35 percent of winnable seats within a decade. She also played a role in the foundation of EMILY's List, the fund-raising and support network for Labor women.""
No - it hasn’t. I’m one of one over one million gun owners in Australia.
And knives aren’t illegal, either.
What about dingos?
What is the skinny on Australia’s gun laws. Can you carry pistols? Do they need to be registered? Can you conceal? Are the laws largely federal or state(province?).
I thought Rudd had been more popular with the public, and coalition partners, but Gillard had always been more popular in the Party.
What about them? Native dogs, basically. Like any strong dog, they can be dangerous, and they are out there as wild animals in some parts of the country.
Briefly - because I’m trying to follow the story on TV.
All guns must be registered. All gun owners must be licenced. There are different levels of licence.
A basic (A/B) licence is easy to get unless you’re a criminal (or have a recent criminal record). It allows the ownership of ‘basic longarms’ - single shot (non semi-automatic) rifles and shotguns. This is easily the most common licence.
Owning a handgun requires a handgun licence. Owning a semi-automatic weapon requires a higher level licence. These are more complicated to get - you have to navigate a complex bureaucracy and you have to have an even cleaner record - but it can be done. I’ve done as have thousands of others.
There are no specific laws on open or concealed carry. If you have a handgun licence, you can carry as you wish.
The laws are state based, but there are efforts to make them consistent across the country, and they tend to be similar.
Left wing moron.
