Yep,

A line that they parrot on "excessive" and "military" that has run in the A/Gens and ministers CoAG wankfest for many years.

FWIW WA is probably the worst as their laws militated against "powerful" cartridges for many decades (from 1920?), thus the trend to use a 45/70 as it was deemed an antique (BP) round.

The construction of laws that deem the police as having powers of discretion is a violation of liberties and common law, a matter that our Pommy cousins have suffered for many years.

The certification of ranges is based on both butts construction and safety templates that allow for "carry". (maximum range; thus the debacle on the Anzac Range at Laper)

In many cases the range is only certified for older military rounds (8mm max) unless using cast lead projies. A further clause allows that if certified as a military range then the (DoD) Inspector Rifle Ranges has to use the DoD safety template.
