About
Originally, the Shooters Party grew out of resentment at the 1992 Firearms Amendment Act. Shooters and hunters felt it was designed to make them the scapegoats for criminal misuse of firearms by others.
Since 1992, 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.
Our members are drawn together by a drive to make sure that all Australians are free to live their lives without unnecessary government interference.
If you enjoy the outdoors or go hunting and fishing, there’s a fair chance you have already heard about the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party and know one of our Members of Parliament. While you may already know of our work on for shooters and fishers over the past 25 years, we have also championed the rights of farmers. That's why we made the choice to change our name to the Shooters, Fishers & Farmers Party.
