Current e-Petitions for the Legislative Council

Firearms Bill 2024

Eligibility : Residents of Western Australia Only

To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned request that the Legislative Council ...

1. Support law-abiding owners of firearms in Western Australia;
2. Call on the Government to prioritise its taxpayer funded resources towards those who possess and use unlicensed firearms;
3. Have significant concerns about multiple provisions in the Firearms Bill 2024;
4. Are dismayed that after all the talk and promises of consultation, the Bill is currently with a parliamentary committee whose restricted terms of reference prohibit it from conducting a full public inquiry;
5. Urge the Legislative Council to refer the Bill to the Standing Committee on Legislation for a full public inquiry into the policy of the Bill to assess its impact on the rights and liberties of law-abiding Western Australians and its efficacy at tackling those with a history of showing disregard for the laws of our State.

And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray.
