1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Gun owners have been lef scratching their heads this after

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: yesterday's gun announcement. Nicole macke won't reverse the semi automatic band,

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: won't scrap the controversial firearms registry. What she will do

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: is automatically banned gang members from getting firearms licenses. Sounds reasonable,

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: make it easier for owners to store their firearms, and

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: create an independent firearms safety body. Karina Jordan is Fishing

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: Game CEO of ME this morning. Karena, good morning, Good morning.

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: What did you make of the changes?

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: Oh, we think there are pragmatic and sensible changes. I

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: know there's probably going to be a little bit of

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: appointment from some hunters out there. You mentioned the semi automatics,

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: but we're just encouraging everyone to have a good look

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: at the policy intent that's been set out, consider their submissions,

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: and then select a submit to the Select Committee. So

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: we think overall, this is quite a balanced approach and

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: it releases some of those overlie bureaucatic approaches that can

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: be taken to legitimate firearms owners, while still focusing on

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: criminal the criminal element in our community.

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: And Karina, you're quite happy with the travel all stuff.

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: What's changing with the travel and taking firearms with you.

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: It's just clarifying those travel requirements. Obviously, safe storage of

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: firearms while we're traveling is really important, especially for our hunters.

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: So it's just clarifying the conditions there and making them

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: a little bit more streamlined so they're easy to understand.

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: So you can travel with firearms. You just need to

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: have your bault and your ammunition separate, and these conditions

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: around how long you leave those firearms in the vehicle

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: unattended for.

29
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Okay, what about this red flag system for mental health issues?

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: That's just what we know is that that's parts of

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: our community are challenged by mental health just you know,

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: throughout their lives. Life has a little bit tough, and

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: we don't want that stigma associated with firearms ownership. And

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: what we know is it's really good for mental health

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: and physical well being to get out there in the

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: natural environment and hunt for your dinner. And this is

37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: a large part of huge parts of our community. And

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: so this just means that there's more cautious, safer for

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: people that have challenges to own and retain the ownership

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: of their firearms and use them for legitimate hunting purposes,

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: which is good for their.

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Well being, all right, Karina, Appreciate your time, Karena, Jordan
