February Editorial from The Report

Canberra experience and know how

The Australian Shooters Alliance’s Rachael Oxborrow and Tim Bannister attended Federal Parliament in the last week of sittings in Canberra last year.

Together they represent Australia’s most experienced and professional lobbyists in their fields of expertise. Rachael has worked in multiple industries, both as a journalist and activist, including agriculture and the shooting sports. She is a keen rifle competitor herself.

Tim has had clearance to walk the inner halls of parliament since 2008 and has been endorsed by Labor, Liberal and Bob Katter. He has represented shooters at the United Nations and sat on various federal government advisory groups as a councillor. He is currently endorsed by the Member for Hunter, Special Envoy for Men’s Health and Olympian handgun shooter Dan Repacholi. Tim presented Dan with the complete set of 2025 The Report magazines as a Christmas gift. Their visit was prior to the Bondi terrorist attack, which prompted inappropriate calls for legal firearms restrictions; however, Mr Repacholi publicly rejected these calls.
