Originally, the Shooters Party grew out of resentment at the 1992 Firearms Amendment Act in New South Wales. Shooters and hunters felt it was designed to make them the scapegoats for criminal misuse of firearms by others. Since then, we have continued to be powerful voice for those who nobody is listening to, particularly shooters, fishers and farmers. We are committed to delivering real, meaningful, and lasting results for our voters. In 2016 we changed our name to the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party to reflect our existing support in rural areas.
