SA members… Have you and your friends signed?Let’s Hit 10,000 Signatures Before Christmas! We’re Close, But We Need You! Together, we've made incredible progress. But we need one final push to reach our goal of 10,000 signatures on the petition at handsoff.au. This is our opportunity to stand together and ensure our voices are heard in Parliament, pressuring the Malinauskus Government to overturn their ban on bow hunting, set to take effect on December 1. The Labor Government is trying to take away the things we love about South Australia’s great outdoor lifestyle. Right now, they’re going after bowhunting. But, if we let them, camping, shooting or fishing might go next. It’s time to tell Premier Malinauskus and the Labor Government “Hands Off”, and together, let’s protect the sports and recreation we love. Your voice matters now more than ever.1. Sign the Petition: If you haven’t already, add your name at handsoff.au.2. Share It Far and Wide: Forward this email to friends, family, and anyone who values their freedom. Every signature counts. We’re so close—let’s make it happen before Christmas. Together, we can make a difference. Sign the Petition Now Thank you for your passion and support. See MoreSee Less
