On top of Acts you have Regulations, then Amendments .. and when they can't get what they want from that they introduce 'Bills' ... the nett effect is the erosion of our ability to legally own firearms whilst doing jack about crims .. which is hardly unique to Australia.
I am quite annoyed with the way the SSAA bend over for the police and as far as I can tell, never fight anything. It has got to the point where being compliant is counter productive. A level of proactivity is needed to fight back. I can't believe how far it's gone in the 30 years I have been shooting. Having said that, I am a member of the SSAA as they are at the moment the largest body that I am aware of that represents shooters.
Not knowing exactly where you are I can't really comment, but it takes me about 1 1/2 hours to get to the Little River range so I don't go as much as I would like to .. but it's what I have to work with. I thought about full bore shooting but having not as much time as I would like and increasingly dodgey eye sight... I don't know I will bother.

One thing with the SSAA service discipline, unless it has changed you "need" one rifle for each category you wish to shoot, plus maybe specials for specific matches (eg D Day or ANZAC) and then another one of each (for all of them) because if you have a rifle fail during a match, a substitute rifle of the same type is permitted (check local ruling of course, but the reason used to be good enough here when we had to explain every purchase)

Here a rifle held on a collectors license cannot be fired for any reason except with a "commissioners permit" for the purpose of demonstrating it for sale.
