NRAA Update: Consolidated Submission Lodged
The National Rifle Association of Australia has lodged a consolidated submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security in response to the Exposure Draft Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026, with our comments confined to the fi****ms measures.
This submission reflects a united national position, developed with input from State and Territory associations. Across the sport, we are aligned on the importance of responsible, lawful fi****ms ownership, safety-first practice, and reforms that are targeted, evidence-based and workable.
If you would like guidance on how to advocate constructively within your community or with local elected representatives, please contact your State or Territory association for advice and the appropriate channels.
NRAA will continue to engage respectfully through formal processes and keep members informed as the review progresses.

A Short History
Canberra Rifle Club is the city’s oldest surviving sporting body. It can trace its conception to a report in The Queanbeyan Age newspaper of 6 May 1913 that “there was a representative gathering of riflemen at the residence of Mr Hector McIntosh, Canberra, on Saturday last, to discuss the proposal of forming a rifle club at that place…”
Previous rifle ranges were located at the present sites of the Black Mountain Peninsula Picnic Grounds and the Mt Ainslie Summit Road.
The Club’s present facilities, located in the Majura Valley, were opened in September 1969. It is named the McIntosh Rifle Range after Jim McIntosh OAM (1913-2003) the Canberra pioneer family that has been closely associated with the Club since its formation.
