Firearms Act 2024

If the Commissioner is of the opinion that the holder of a firearm authority may not be a fit and proper person to hold a firearm authority, the Commissioner must request the holder to make a submission about that to the Commissioner.

The request must —

be made in writing; and

specify the manner in which and the time (not less than 28 days after the request is made) within which the requested submission must be made; and

specify the reasons why the Commissioner is of the opinion that the person may not be a fit and proper person; and

state that a failure to make a submission as requested can result in the cancellation of or refusal to renew the firearm authority.

If a request under this section is not complied with, the Commissioner has sufficient grounds for forming the opinion that the person is not a fit and proper person to hold a firearm authority.
