To the Honourable the Speaker and members of the House of Representatives in Parliament assembled:

The Petition of the undersigned competitors at the Australian Army Skill at Arms Meeting 1996, at Belmont Queensland requests that the government not repeal the Australian Rifle Club Regulations of the Defence Act 1903.

Your petitioners who are of the opinion that the continued conduct of the National Rifle Association of Australia activities in line with their original intent, is in the national interest, request the House to support:

(1)   the retention of the Australian Rifle Club Regulations of the Defence Act 1903.

(2)   the appointment by the Minister of Defence of a Director of Australian Rifle Clubs and the delegation of such powers and authority that will allow the direction, control and administration of the National Rifle Association of Australia to be brought in line with its original intent, to allow shooting, under strict NRAA control, to be conducted as an aid to defence, with service and civilian interaction.
