🚨 ATT: Fellow Gel Ballers & Community 🚨

Senator Ross Cadell recently stood up and spoke about the new Federal fi****ms laws — and gel blasters were part of the conversation too!

This came from NSW, where gel ball isn’t even legal.

He questioned the logic behind restrictions and recognised gel ball for what it is — a sport.

This isn’t something they are just thinking about, it’s now in place and already impacting us:

• Retailers can’t import new stock
• Wholesale is drying up
• Fields and players are feeling it

This industry supports jobs, communities, and gives people a positive outlet and sense of belonging.

Take that away, and it affects more than just sales — it affects people.

It's been a tough start to the year and having someone speaking up for us in parliament gives us all a glimmer of hope

Thankyou Senator Cadell for stepping up and representing our industry. 💪🏽

We need more politicians to speak up about the failed Labor gun laws and the negative impact they have on our industry.

⚠️ Gelball & Skirmish in Australia is on the line ⚠️

Under Schedule 6, Part 2, Item 14B (Skirmish Markers) of the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956, gelball blasters are being treated as fi****ms for import purposes. This change appears to have been introduced without meaningful consultation with the industry or community.

Important:
This does NOT affect players or ownership in Queensland.
However, it does impact the importation of items that are considered substantially the same in appearance as a fully automatic firearm.

While this might not sound significant at first, these items are the most commonly used equipment in the sport and hobby. Restricting their import threatens the future growth and sustainability of the gelball and skirmish community.

This issue is about more than just a hobby. It impacts:

• Mental health and wellbeing for many participants
• A legitimate and growing sport
• Small Australian businesses and local jobs
• Retailers, fields and industry operators
• The Australian film and creative industries (props, cosplay and movie production)

If we stay silent, the industry disappears quietly.

If we act — respectfully and in numbers — politicians take notice.

Best strategy:
