For his June 10 article, Paddy talked to David Leyonhjelm, Liberal Democrat Senator-elect for NSW, about his stated determination to secure tenure at Malabar Headland for the NSW Rifle Association.

Paddy recorded video interviews with a number of people and the article includes a link to an edited video (6 mins 41 secs) of these interviews. The video is well worth watching for his interviews with:

• Peter Garrett, former Federal MP for Kingsford-Smith
• John Fitzgerald, the President of the NSW Rifle Association
• Donna Wright from the South East Equestrian Association
• Don Kerr, founding member of and spokesperson for Friends of Malabar Headland and bush regeneration team leader
• Donna Negus, a competitive shooter who has been training and competing at the Headland for many years
• local residents
