Anzac Range saved!
20 Jul 2012
Mick Matheson
Shooters have beaten the Commonwealth in a legal battle to save the Anzac Rifle Range on Sydney’s Malabar Headland.
The Supreme Court today found that the Commonwealth had no right to evict the NSW Rifle Association from the range, nor could it stop the NSWRA using the range.
The Commonwealth wants to transfer the entire headland, of which the range is a significant portion, to the NSW government as a national park. [read more]

This is really good news and shows that the Government is not all powerful or even smart.

Yes a very good result for the NSWRA
The full decision makes interesting (but dry) reading.

BTW Eoin, I've seen the government accused of many things but smart isn't one of them.

Excellent result.
Why is it known as the ANZAC range Eoin? Is it a link back to training for WWI perhaps...........

More a commemoration rather than a link. It wasn't actually named Anzac until 1970.
