If we can't watch Underbelly, can we play with Megatron?

[Paulbot]

Picking up from the Questions by Newbies thread and a discussion with Dirge last night, I'm thinking it's time to seriously start discussing how we can make owning Megatron toys legal in Victoria.

Now Tiby has done a lot of the hardwork already and we might be able to reuse a lot of that work and adapt as needed.

I'm happy to help and put my name to support things but when it comes to the type of negotiating and meetings Tiby held I'm openly admiting I'd be out of my depth.

Who else wants to work on this?

I don't mind. I'd be in. It's a long process though.

While NSW doesn't set a precedent as such, you do have Tiby's work as a basic plan of attack (so to speak).

You can also make reference to the outcome here - ie a specific permit. That way you're going to Victoria Police (or whoever it is you'd have to approach) with a clear outcome in mind, and one that still offers "protection" to the community at large.

If they do ask you to meet certain requirements, and you need any assistance, feel free to check with the NSW Megatron Club officeholders (Tiby and myself) (:

my name is already in the Tiby's petition list so i'm ready to support here if required to. of cos its also way out of my league being just a permanent residence.

Now that we have a working model in NSW, which has the highest crime rate and incidence of crimes with such replicas and handguns (so the Ministry told me) I think we have real options to hand the governments of other states on a silver platter.

Hell I'm in, what is our first move after we get our recruits?
