WINNING THE SHOOTERS’ VOTE: What our political parties can do to win an election winning lead.

from Gun News Australia: the latest news for Aussie shooters · host Politics Reloaded - real news for Aussie shooters

WE LOOK AT what the One Nation result in South Australia means for Victoria's upcoming state election.  We explain how all political parties—Labor, Liberal, and One Nation—can improve their pitch for the shooter's vote. That's over 250,000 votes there for the taking. The surge in One Nation's vote in South Australia isn't a one-off. It's a significant indicator of what we might see in Victoria, and it shows what conservative voters think the Liberal Party has gone too soft. One Nation secured nearly a quarter of the primary vote, mostly from the Liberals, and this funding boost will help them bankroll an even bigger campaign in Victoria. I outline three critical areas that parties need to understand if they want to win shooter support.  They are to support hunting as an economic activity, commit to building world-class shooting infrastructure to position Victoria as a sporting centre, and CHANGE THE NARRATIVE whenever it comes public discussions over firearms policy. These are three easy to implement changes, all of which can be justified under the state’s cost-benefits framework. None of these require the parties to touch our gun laws – but will pave the way for those discussions to be had later on. It’s an easy election position to take that will create a massive boost for the parties in their race to win the shooters’ vote without drawing fire from our opponents.
