The Issues
National firearm register misfires on public safety 🔫🚔
A national firearm database is edging closer but KAP has always said a national register isn't necessary. The idea is nothing more than an expensive, tokenistic and politically motivated move to mislead laypeople into thinking they are safer.
Some people might be shocked to learn that in Queensland we still rely on a paper-based system for everything from weapon licences through to permits to acquire.
Giving Queensland a digitised system with real-time updates would be a much more effective way to reduce the confusion and backlog that exists within the Queensland firearms register.
Modernising Queensland's register would free up resources that could turn their focus to the illegal firearm market and that would go a long way towards actually improving public safety, not creating an additional 'list' of legally registered and acquired firearms.

guys but it would be easy to hack as well if it went digital, if they cant get the categories right and with non firearms wisdom people( people without a firearms' licence) making rules they don't understand ,most police put in the weapons division are transferred there to be put in the naughty corner so to speak , and the old adage of them stopping work on your paperwork because they now want some other paperwork but they will not tell you until you call them and then you have to sort out there paperwork, licence need to be fixed as well every person who qualifies to use a cat"C" or "D" should be able to use them on a approved range with a number of shoots have to be done each year same as pistol , as well as you can have a pistol for club use but not able to use it in the field so many things not enough time merry christmas guys n god bless
Normalisation of Port Hinchinbrook must forge ahead ✍️🛥
Yesterday, during my last speech in parliament for the year I felt it necessary to update the house on the progression of the normalisation process at Port Hinchinbrook.
I believe it is important to acknowledge the hard work that has already occurred, the work that is underway, but also remind those who have the power to solve the long term problems of this development what is needed to complete the normalisation process.
I look forward to working with all three levels of government next year to advance a long term dredging plan.
Below is an exert of my speech 👇👇

Agitation Dredging of the grand canal is the answer. My cost effective solution requires no spoils ponds, no environmental permits, and no infrastructure. The only energy required for this solution is the sun and the tide. I jumped out of the box a long time ago.
