How buying beer and doughnuts will make your life better

Who doesn’t love Homer Simpson?  He brought beer and doughnuts back to life.

Reeeaaallyyy.

If you’re about to jump in your car to get your beer and doughnuts – along with your milk, bread, biscuits and carrots – then head to a Ritchies IGA with your Community Benefits card made out to the CFCV.

Part of what you spend will then be donated to the CFCV.

Imagine that – buying your every day items from the supermarket directly helps protect the shooting sports!

Federal Senate results – good or bad for us?

Posted by on August 4, 2016 7 comments

The results are in.  The new Senate comprises the following number of senators:

SenateFrom a shooting perspective it would be fair to say the Greens, Hinch and possibly Xenophon are anti-firearm. Those likely to be for include One Nation, LDP, Family First (Bob Day) and maybe Jacquie Lambie.

If we include the maybes, that would be 13 anti, and 7 for.

 

As the government would need 9 votes to get a majority (30+9=39, to get more than 50% of 76), any vote important enough to reach the senate could go either way.

Given the Greens would be likely to always vote against what we do, we suspect the overall result would not be good for us; but possibly better than the last Senate we had.
