I offered somebody a bet that it would be within ten years but he wouldn't take it!
I guess the NRA would wither and die.

Stolen from the FB list...
This from John Fitzgerald, Chairman NSWRA:

IMPORTANT NEWS RELEASE REGARDING COURT PROCEEDINGS:-
"NSWRA Vs COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA"
ANZAC RIFLE RANGE.

Commonwealth's Appeal against the judgement handed down in the NSW Supreme
Court of White J dated 20 July 2012.

This morning in the NSW Court of Appeal we appeared for directions in the
Commonwealths Appeal against the above judgement. I quote from notice just
received from Mary Morrisroe, Lawyer (Hunt & Hunt) who appeared on our
behalf.

"This morning I appeared on behalf of NSWRA before Registrar Riznyczol in
the Court of Appeal. Ms Boomer appeared on behalf of the Commonwealth.
Ms Boomer was granted leave to file a notice of discontinuance in Court. The
effect of the notice of discontinuance is that the Commonwealth has advised
the Court that it does not intend to continue with the appeal. The
proceedings have come to an end".

THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS AND A SIGNIFICANT VICTORY FOR NSWRA!

The Commonwealth has also agreed to settle costs awarded to NSWRA for the
sum of $420,000-00. Whilst this amount falls far short of what we actually
incurred in mounting our legal challenge, it is in fact reasonable in
consideration that costs awarded on a party/party basis returns generally
60% to 70% to the successful litigant of what was actually spent in the
process.

All in all, and I consider an understatement when saying we have come out of
this with a great win for justice and a secure future for NSWRA!

We are at Anzac Rifle Range under the Terms of our License "until relocated
to a suitable range" with the full legal ramifications of the NSW Supreme
Court.

Accordingly I can now Wish Everyone " A MOST MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH A
BRIGHT LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL FOR 2013" without the threat of our
sport suffering the severe blow of termination at Anzac hanging over our
heads.
