Thread: Latest from Police via FCAF

Ignoring the words that I simply dont understand without googling each one - that has to be one of the harder reads I have had - maybe it is just me.

Got to this


While we will continue to offer paper services we will soon be introducing on our website “MyFirearms” an online portal for applicants to apply for licences and some endorsements, or notify us of changes. This will allow applicants to complete online application forms, upload photos and documents and pay online. I look forward to sharing more details of what this will look like and how this will operate in my next update.

Bravo for following every government department and trying to force people to do everything online.

There are more than a few LFAO I know that do not/can not use the internet. I for one refuse to engage with any government department via email (call me pig headed).

IF this is anything like the Traveller Declaration it will be a total fuck up - the online form didnt work - and takes 40 minutes to do - the paper verison was 2 minutes of quick writing.

Democracy/Bueaurcracy should be open for all - but the policy makers/civil servants seem to constantly underestimate the large numbers of people that are technically illeritate or they simply do not have access to the internet - witness the under-representation of certain groups in the census.

I can see the day when they will insist everything is online - so will we then see yet another sector of the population become criminialised just become some youngster in wellington and cant understand that not everyone has a computer.

PS - rant over - I am back to my little cess pool.
