GUN registration is “ineffectual” and did nothing to stop the Sydney terror attack, one of Victoria’s newest MPs says.

Victorian Shooters and Fishers party leader and provisionally elected Eastern Victorian MP Jeffrey Bourman said the current gun laws in Australia were not working.

“Most of our gun laws now seem to be aimed at the law abiding, not at criminals.’’

Mr Bourman said the laws on registration did not prevent the Sydney siege.

“A known criminal got hold of a gun, it’s as simple as that.’’

“Registration did not prevent that.’’

He said the system should be reassessed.

“Registration, as far as I can tell, is actually completely ineffectual,” he said.

“If someone can prove to me that registration actually does anything I will reconsider my opinion, but as far I can tell registration of guns does absolutely nothing, except create jobs.’’

Mr Bourman and Daniel Young are two Shooters and Fishers members to already be provisionally elected to Victorian Parliament.

The Victorian Electoral Commission is currently counting the ballots for all 40 Legislative Council seats.

The two micro party members will have to deal with a variety of other parties, including the Labor Government, Coalition and the Greens, on key legislation.

Two new Greens, Nina Springle and Samantha Dunn, have also been provisionally elected.

Mr Bourman said his first priority was to settle in and work out the parliament system.

He said he would work with all MPs constructively.

“I am not there to cause trouble,” he said.

He also pledged to look after the interests of land-based groups, and of recreational fishers.
