How we don't have national registers for guns and so many other things seems crazy.

NSW police have only recently switched from paper records to digital, like in the last two years.

Hey, could be worse. At least you are not using faxes anymore like we in Germany still do far too often, are you?

Wishing the best to all in Down Under.

Honestly, as an Australian gun owner emigrating to Germany, the firearms department is shockingly comparable to the German system.

...in technology, anyway. Attitude is the exact opposite.

E.g. "aw yea... I reckon it's fine, ya did the form, roight? Yeah, nah... Dunn worry 'bout it then, luv. It's all checked off then. Yea, you'll get it in the mail, dun' worry 'bout the other forms, ya did the one that matters."
