Shooters Union Australia Defending Shooters' Rights

Recently we had the pleasure of interviewing Rick Gurnett, the Katter Australia Party Candidate for your electorate of Warrego. A passionate advocate for your region, Rick is contesting the seat to ensure “help our regional and rural economies grow.” 

“To stop our declining rural and regional populations, we need bold ideas like an airforce training centre in Charleville, a rural bank to safeguard our farmer’s livelihoods, and investment in local industries (like the Dalby Ethanol Refinery) with a commitment from the Australian Government to ALWAYS support AUSTRALIAN COMPANIES first.“

Raising a family in southwest Queensland has given Rick an insight to how important it is that we have MPs that are fighting for the regions to give people west of the range the same access to health, aged care, education and other essential services as those in the South East corner enjoy.

“My passion is agriculture and I have always worked towards owning property and providing food and fibre for our great country.”

He has become increasingly concerned about the high-handed decisions legislated by the major parties which have eroded people’s rights and freedoms.

“This is the reason I have put myself forward as part of the KAP to right these wrongs and get our country back on track.”

Shooters Union is endorsing Rick as our pick for the candidate most likely to bring about meaningful and lasting change in the Warrego region. 

Recently we had the pleasure of interviewing Ciaron Paterson, the Katter Australia Party Candidate for your electorate of Whitsunday. A passionate advocate for your region, Ciaron is contesting the seat to ensure “the Whitsunday electorate gets the support and infrastructure it needs to grow and prosper.” We need real strategies for helping our embattled tourism sector to get back on its feet. Our sugar cane farmers need a government cash-injection NOW and the local economy needs HELP. 

“I am proudly running for Katter’s Australia Party because I can see the damage the major parties have caused through their regional neglect. Come October 31st, vote for a party that will put the Whitsundays first and not Brisbane.“

A passionate advocate for the Whitsunday region, Ciaron has policies aimed at supporting tourism recovery, fixing water access issues for farmers & primary producers, and increasing the ethanol mandate. These initiatives will provide opportunities for producers, local manufacturers and processors whilst also increasing agricultural product demand. 

Shooters Union is endorsing Ciaron as our pick for the candidate most likely to bring about meaningful and lasting change in the Whitsunday region. 

Here’s how you can vote for

A passionate advocate for the Rochkampton region, Christian has policies aimed at improving legislative and fiscal outcomes for the region, reducing energy prices, supporting farmers with improved vegetation management laws, fixing the water crisis and supporting local producers. 

Shooters Union is endorsing Christian as our pick for the candidate most likely to bring about meaningful and lasting change in the Rockhampton region.

A passionate advocate for your region, Alannah is contesting the seat to “Make Townsville Great” and address the changes made to legislation stopping Townsville police from effectively fighting juvenile crime. 

“I am a person of conviction and believe in fairness and what is right. Not enough is being done for our region for those that live here. I want better for everyone in our community including safety, growth and stability. Come see what KAP really do.”

A passionate advocate for the Townsville region, Alannah has policies aimed to build infrastructure, protect jobs, decrease youth crime and provide better support for our farmers and primary producers.

Shooters Union is endorsing Alannah as our pick for the candidate most likely to bring about meaningful and lasting change in the Mundingburra region. 

AUSTRALIA’S pre-eminent pro-shooting organisation has unveiled a new app to give shooters and supporters information about elections and advice on how to vote to protect their interests.

The free Shooters Union How To Vote Pro-Gun app provides users with a range of useful pro-shooting electoral and voting information relevant to them, to help them make an informed and pro-gun choice at the ballot box.

The app is available free at https://howtovoteprogun.com.au/ for PC and on the Google Play store for Android devices.  

We have developed an iOS version for Apple devices but the Apple Store have been dragging their feet on approving it – allegedly because of COVID-19; we think it could also possibly because it’s a pro-gun voting app and that doesn’t suit certain agendas.

Shooters Union Australia president Graham Park said the How To Vote Pro-Gun app was, as far as he was aware, the first time in Australian history a pro-shooting group had put together such an app – and it was available to anyone who wanted to use it, not just Shooters Union members.

“We’ve been saying for more than 20 years that shooters need to vote to protect their interests, and in every election we get inundated with members across the state asking ‘who should I vote for?’,” he said.

“Collating an electorate-by-electorate list of who shooters should vote for to protect their rights and give them a fair go has previously been a lot of work and getting that info to the people who need it in an accessible fashion has also proven a challenge.

“Now, thanks to the incredibly hard work of the Shooters Union team as well as advances in computers, internet, smartphones and tablets, we can finally do that effectively.”

Whether it’s finding out what electorate a person lives in to listing all the candidates there based on Shooters Union recommendations, the How To Vote Pro-Gun app can help shooters and supporters ensure their vote makes the most difference on polling day.

The app will initially cover the 2020 Queensland election but is designed so it will be quickly updated for all State and Federal elections as they occur.

“No matter where you live in Australia, if there’s a State or Federal election affecting you, we will have the appropriate voting advice available via this app,” Mr Park said.

“Watch this space – we’re just getting started.”

If you live in rural or regional Queensland, you’ve no doubt experienced the stupidity of “Big City Thinking” on rural and regional problems.

Whether it’s crocodile or land management, feral animal control or our personal favourite, Firearms Control, real world experience with real world problems is often lacking in career politicians.

In the video below, Shooters Union President Graham Park, and Katters’ Australia Party President, Robbie Katter, discuss the importance of real representation for Queenslanders who live outside the South East Corner.

Did you know that every time you give a party your ‘1’ vote on the ballot in Queensland, you are also giving them $3.14 as well?

Under Queensland’s public election funding laws, parties receive $3.14 for every first preference (‘1’ vote) they receive – which adds up to millions of dollars every election, straight into their pockets.

We say it’s time to take the Majors’ pocket money away.

By Voting 1 for a pro-gun party like Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) or Pauline Hanson’s One Nation (PHON) or a pro-gun independent candidate, you are taking money back from the Majors, giving it to someone who can use it to fight for you, and sending a message to the big two that we as voters have had enough of being taken for granted.

Every ‘1’ vote that goes to someone else is money the Majors can’t use to push their anti-gun policies.

The Majors take the electoral funding for granted – and got a shock in 2017 when the #Flick’Em campaign resulted in the lowest first-preference vote for the Majors in Queensland history. The campaign took well over a million dollars away from the Majors and distributed it to parties representing real, hard-working Queenslanders.

The Majors clearly haven’t learned from that experience, so it’s time to remind them in a way they’ll understand – on their accounting balance sheet.

Put the Majors last and take their pocket money away!

Let’s put Townsville First!

Recently we had the pleasure of interviewing Josh Schwarz, the Katter’s Australian Party Candidate for your electorate of Townsville. A passionate advocate for your region, Josh is contesting the seat to “unlock the potential of our amazing home.”
