Here’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.
Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge
There are now more than 4m guns in the community – almost double the number recorded in the years after the Port Arthur massacre that prompted a national crackdown

A very important thing to understand about Qld in the post-Joh era is we Queenslanders will not be subjugated by any political party ever again. The Qld parliament was built by us & we expect all members to work on the issues in 2026. We have no qualms about replacing MPs. #qldpol

Just to be clear, the Coalition's current leader has said "maybe" to fresh gun reforms, a process started by her predecessor John Howard, and has instead called for a crackdown on universities after a horrific attack by a man associated with Islamic State and known to the intelligence services.

The ALP need to realise they will be criticised whatever they do, so how about do things that are good? And do things to please those who voted for you not those who never will.
The AFR run a 2 year campaign to get the ALP to weaken the changes to super tax concessions to make it easier to avoid paying the tax.
The ALP does it.
The AFR criticises the ALP for weakening the policy because people can avoid paying the tax.
