The Combined Firearms Council of Victoria represents six major shooting organizations in the state. It aims to support candidates in the 2018 Victorian state election who support shooting sports through targeted advertising and mailouts, and campaigns against those who oppose shooting. The Council lobbies on issues important to its 205,000 licensed shooter members, such as hunting access and firearms regulations. It asks candidates to support hunting at Lake Mokoan, protecting shooters' access in any Great Forest National Park plans, and more funding for shooting initiatives in exchange for the Council's campaign support.
