The latest NSW crime statistics are in and it shows that crime with firearms has decreased.

Given that regulation should be data driven, what possible reason could the NSW regulator have to constantly seek to increase the regulatory burden on licensed firearms businesses and law abiding shooters?

Friend of SIFA and the Australian shooting industry Gordon Rich-Phillips MP, calls on the Victorian Government to cease using FedEx/TNT services whilst it continues to discriminate against to lawful firearm businesses.

Thank you Gordon, we appreciate the support. Every business in Australia should be outraged at the ease of which FedEx/TNT has enacted woke #cancelculture across our entire industry.

Freight Update.

SIFA has been contacted by many businesses over the last week inquiring what the situation with freight is. We understand your angst at this time and I can promise you we are working extremely hard, leaving no stone unturned in seeking a freight solution for the entire Australian shooting industry.

As an update, a solution has not yet been presented. We are still working with a number of major freight providers who are currently bogged down crunching numbers and assessing compliance, procedures and policy.

We are hoping an outcome is not too far away and will advise the industry as soon as we have something tangible.

Righto! Today is R U OK day, and times are particularly tough at the moment. Lockdowns are taking their toll on people, especially those who enjoy outdoors lifestyles.

Our industry is dominated by males, and as we all know, men can be stubborn and not seek help when its needed. It's OK to not be OK, and it's OK to reach out for help!

If anyone out there is struggling, please feel free to call me on 0419 933 066 or message the page and I will do what I can to assist you. No judgement!

Let's all make sure we all check up on each other.

Given the ongoing issues with firearms businesses being denied banking and merchant services, SIFA jumped at the opportunity to be a principal stakeholder in the recent independent review of the Banking Code of Practice.

After being invited to present a consultation paper, SIFA entered further consultation where we were able to promote the legitimacy of the Australian shooting industry and the highly regulated regime in which it operates.

SIFA’s consultation paper can be found: https://bankingcodereview.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Submission-Shooting-Industry-Foundation-Australia-SIFA.pdf
