I think its the first mention of paintball in parliment that doesnt also include the words WAR and Rambo!

[shelle]

Excellent !!!

The bit I love most is where he called the laws what they are, that being "draconian"

:clap: :clap:

[bunkerboy]

Cool stuff. Lets hope that gets the ball rolling in the right direction:thumbsup:

However, the first line caught my attention.

I direct my issue to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services in the other place.

"In the other place":confused:
Wonderland maybe? How about the land of Oz? Or could he mean Middle-Earth?:p

The Victorian Field operators went broke in 1998 just to get this far last time.
Now its up to the police minister to reply.

[Gupt]

hopefully things work out, who knows, maybe i might move back to melbourne if they do change the laws ...

[PAINTBALL PETE]

Doubt it very much, hidden hatered for paintball by those in power, it had the numbers in parliment in 98 but the hidden hatred saw it blown out the window. You guys have a hard slog to get it legalised again.
Dont hold your breath.


ME :angel:

I agree about the hatred. it was a nasty time.

all we can do is chip away at the encumbant politicians, after all - they only want their superannuation and to be left alone.

Same as the Land tax issue we are having here too.

Funny how the politicians forget why there was a Eureka Rebellion, 150 years ago. But then they call call the troops out on us again since Howard changed that Law too.
