EP:032 - The Roar - Victoria’s Firearm Review: The Government Response

Paul Gray and Sean Kilkenny unpack Victoria’s Firearms Review response, highlighting the big outcomes — no ownership caps and no reclassification of existing firearms — and the government’s planned measures for emerging technologies, citizenship eligibility (with New Zealand exemptions), stronger penalties, and improved intelligence and data-sharing.

They explain short-term impacts for hunters and licence holders, what recommendations will require more work, and what to watch next on licensing, permit fees and public engagement to protect recreational hunting.
