GUN REPORT RECOMMENDS FEES HIKE: Report paves way for Allan Government to jack up gun licence fees

WE SPEAK WITH Sean Fraser to dissect the recently released Ken Lay Rapid Review into Victoria’s firearm laws. The Victorian Government has accepted 15 out of 16 recommendations, paving the way for sweeping administrative shifts that directly target licensed Victorian shooters. We break down the deliberately laid "landmines" hidden in this report, including the open ended definitions of "high-risk" firearms, and permit fee increases that will force Victorian shooters to pay more under the Allan Labor Government. From bans targeting non-citizen shooters to the further fragmentation of the National Firearms Agreement, we look at the hard facts. Our community faces an uphill battle as state-specific registries push restrictive agendas that ignore 130 years of established firearm technology. We cut through the political rhetoric to ensure grassroots shooting sports participants stay informed, unified, and equipped to protect our sport.   See the full gun law review report at: https://files.justice.vic.gov.au/2026-05/Rapid-Review-Victoria-Firearm-Laws.pdf See the state government’s response at: https://files.justice.vic.gov.au/2026-05/Rapid-Review-Victoria-Firearm-Laws-Government-Response.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------- JOIN US ON PATREON Join our Patreon channel and get our episodes before they are released more widely at:  https://www.patreon.com/c/gunnewsaustralia/membership -------------------------------------------------------------- DONATE NOW – and support our work You can back our work by donating at https://politicsreloaded.com/donate/ OR you can ‘buy me a coffee’ in support, at https://buymeacoffee.com/gunnewsaustralia #AustralianShooters #ShootingSports #FirearmsLegislation #GunLawsAU #LAFO #AussieShooters #SportShootingAU
