NSW Firearms Law

Email your local member

The NSW firearms reforms place new limits on people who are already licensed, vetted and inspected. If that concerns you, the most effective thing you can do is write to your own local member — electorate offices count what their own constituents send them.

Enter your suburb, add your details, and this page will draft a letter to your MP and open it in your email app. Your letter itself never leaves your browser. Your details are only stored if you leave the consent box below ticked.

About this page

What is and isn't sent to us. The letter is built in your browser and handed straight to your email app — its text is never transmitted to us and is never stored, whatever else you choose. When you open or copy a finished letter, the page records three things for the counters above: which electorate it was addressed to, how many words it ran to, and which button you used. That is not enough to identify anybody.

Your details are a separate choice. The consent box in step 3 is ticked by default, and we would rather tell you that than have you find out. If you leave it ticked and enter an email address, then when you act on your letter we save that email along with whatever you filled in above — name, phone, address, licence type, your suburb and electorate, and which MP you wrote to. The page lists the exact values first. Untick the box, or leave the email blank, and none of it is stored and the letter works identically. The privacy policy sets all of this out in full.

Where the data comes from. Suburb and state electoral district boundaries come from NSW Spatial Services, matched geometrically. MP names and electorate-office email addresses come from the Parliament of NSW register of current members, which publishes them for exactly this purpose.

Some suburbs sit in more than one electorate. Electoral boundaries do not follow suburb lines. Where a suburb is split, this page shows every member covering it so you can pick the right one. If you are unsure, check your street address on the NSW Electoral Commission's electorate finder.

Write it in your own words where you can. Electorate staff read a great many identical form emails and discount them accordingly. A few sentences that are genuinely yours are worth more than the whole template.
