This podcast brings together a coalition of independent Australian podcast hosts from Wild Origins, Get Outdoors With Drew and Cam, Women Who Hunt, Hunting Connections, In The Dark and Bullet Points, Australian Hunting Backcountry, Nature’s Perks, the Australian Hunting Podcast and we at The Hunting Republic to engage in a measured, evidence-based discussion on the proposed changes to legal firearms ownership laws in New South Wales and other states.

We begin by acknowledging the horrific atrocities that have prompted renewed public debate. We extend our sincerest condolences to all victims, families, and communities affected. Their loss is profound, and it deserves both respect and seriousness in how policy responses are considered.

Across a large portion of the Australian public, there is clear agreement on one central point: law-abiding firearms owners are not responsible for acts of terrorism or violent extremism. The hosts united in this discussion contend that altering existing firearms laws would not have prevented the actions of determined terrorist extremists, who by definition operate outside legal and regulatory frameworks.

Within this podcast, these issues—and many others—are examined in depth. Together, the hosts seek to present a unified message of solidarity, advocating for rational policy, accountability, and integrity in public discourse.

This is a refusal to accept scapegoating in place of confronting genuine governmental and procedural failings, and a call for solutions that are grounded in facts rather than fear.

Please join me for a very special episode where I relate the 27 year hunting journey I have been on leading to the taking of a magnificent 12 point red stag earlier this year.
