FED:Gun lobby says put Greens last

Australia's largest gun lobby group is urging the nation's 800 thousand licensed shooters
to put the Australian Greens last on their Senate ballot paper at the August 21 poll.

The Sporting Shooters Association of Australia says the Greens are a threat to shooting
and other outdoor activities.

The association's mailed a flyer to its 130 thousand members calling on them to vote
below the line in the Senate to make sure preferences don't inadvertently flow to the
Greens.

But the association isn't specifically advocating members to vote either Labor or coalition.
