SHOOTING RANGES: Victoria Labor's Golden Opportunity to Deliver

VICTORIA HAS FALLEN well behind the rest of Australia, lacking even a single shooting facility capable of hosting international-level events. With the Victorian state budget imminent and the November state election looming, now is the time for our major parties to see and capitalise on the political and economic opportunities this presents. WE SPEAK WITH Danny Ryan, President of Sporting Clays Victoria, for a hard-hitting discussion about what's at stake for the state's 250,000 licensed shooters. After the embarrassing cancellation of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, the Victorian government broke its promise to deliver legacy shooting infrastructure—leaving clubs struggling with outdated, volunteer-run facilities, while Brisbane prepares world-class venues for the 2032 Olympics. Danny reveals the shocking disparity in government funding, the economic case for investment (with shooting worth billions to Victoria's economy), and how the pending firearms review by Ken Lay could require infrastructure that doesn't exist. With potential changes to firearm laws requiring compulsory training and range attendance, the infrastructure crisis becomes even more urgent. The message is clear: Contact your local MP now. Take 20 minutes—visit their office, make the call. This is your sport, your future.
