Country Alliance – New Recognition For Shooters, Boaters

New Recognition For Shooters, Boaters

The Country Alliance party has welcomed changes to election regulations that now recognise shooters and boating licences for people wishing to enrol on the day of state elections.

The regulations, which came into effect last month, originally limited the types of licences that would be recognised for identification purposes to drivers’ licences.

However a submission from the party to expand that to include other validly issued licences such as shooters’ and boating licences, was accepted by the Department of Justice.

Party spokesman, Russell Bate, said the inclusion made a lot of sense.

“Shooters and boating licences are equally as valid as any other licences issued by state authorities, so it made no sense to recognise one type but not the other”.

“Our submission is one aspect of our broader election platform that seeks to ensure that the value and status of recreational activities is properly recognised.”

“This is something we believe is ignored in the current political environment”.
