Dear Friends,

As you are aware Australians will be voting in the Federal election on 21 August.

With the Labor Government “on the nose” political analysts expect the Greens to increase their vote significantly, especially in the Senate. A swing of just a few percent would see the Greens with as many as 8 Senate seats thus handing them the balance of power – a disastrous situation for all Australians but especially so for those of us involved in the shooting and fishing sports.

So please, help us stop the Greens from gaining control of the Senate.

We need your help in two key ways. Firstly we need your vote. The Shooters and Fishers Party are running 2 Senate candidates in the following States:

New South Wales:     Jim Muirhead and Al McGlashan
Victoria:   Peter Kelly and Alex Krstic
Queensland:    Andrew Peter and Chris Huggett
Western Australia:    Paul Peake and Christine Peake
Tasmania:     Ray Williams and Jeff Blackmore
Northern Territory:    Phillip Hoare and Matt Graham

Secondly we need your help in passing on our message – please pass on this message to your family and friends whether or not they are shooters or fishers. Stopping the Greens is important for all Australians.

The attached "anti-Greens" Pamphlet and Poster show how much a threat the Greens really are. We are asking supporters to help us 'spread the word' via their email networks and 'word of mouth' at club meetings, at the range and amongst family, friends and work colleagues.

The Shooters Party's Robert Brown has placed a Bill before the NSW Parliament which will allow hunting access to the State's National Parks.

The value of this Bill as a conservation tool is limitless and if successfully passed will help save countless native flora and fauna populations from predation by introduced and feral animals.

Hi All

I just wanted to give you an update on what has been happening with AHNi – Australian Hunting Net Inc – our new AHN hunting club…

As you may be aware AHNi was officially launched on the 1st August and in that short time the club has already grown to sixty paid-up members. AHNi has separate forums at the top of the AHN forum but only one of them can be viewed by non-AHNi members. That is if your aren’t a member yet there are other forums up there that you cant see!! Ooooohh ….secrets!!  ;D

In recent days we have been working at establishing some dedicated work groups – Hunting Resources, Political Lobby, Media & PR and AHNi Events & Activities. Each of these focused groups will have six elected official representatives .... although all AHNi members will be able to participate in their daily activities.

The Hunting Resources group will be responsible for building a hunting resources database and developing a network of club properties and hunting access. The Political Lobby Group will be responsible for directly lobbying legislators and government departments for the benefit of AHNi members. The Media & PR group will represent AHNi members and hunting and firearms owners in a positive light to the media. The Activities & Events group will organise and coordinate AHNi events and functions , including target shoots, postal shoots, fund raisers, raffles, social functions, etc.

If you have been thinking about joining but haven’t done so yet or think you might like to nominate yourself for an official position for these work groups – then you had better get in there and sign up!! Nominations close on the 27th of this month. Membership is only $50 per annum and family membership is available. For membership details look here - Application Form

Benefits to members include $10M public liability insurance, access to our hunting resources database and in the future - access to club properties. AHNi is recognised in NSW and Victoria as a genuine reason to get a firearms licence and we are busy working on acceptance in other states. In states like WA – we are hoping that when we have club properties signed-up, genuine reason requirements will be met for those members living there. In the Political Lobby Group we will be working hard to meet and verify these requirements in other states and to address other issues important to AHNi members.

In addition, club and AHN sponsors offer AHNi members exclusive discounts and rebates to the club.

So if you have an interest in joining Australia’s first National approved Internet hunting club…swing by and have a look.

Thanks for your support

Matt Graham
AHNi  Vice President (NSW)

COMPETITION:
Anyone who signs up for membership between now and the 31st May 2009 l go into a draw for a Wolf Eyes Big Bunny Buster hunter solo torch -courtesy of our sponsors - Wolfeyes  

In an Australian first. AHN has formed Australian Hunting Net Incorporated, (AHNI) a registered online hunting club with approval in 2 states with others pending.  With all of the benefits of a traditional hunting club plus more. Includes Public Liability insurance for members when hunting and online club meetings that count toward your compulsory attendances for your licence requirements.
