Phil, would a bolt make it less evil in the land down under?

although I can see it being a "military Styled" Rifle still causing issues

we have had an issue over here in Victoria with the H&K R8
April 2008, the Victorian Government moved to ban the HK R8 in the state, claiming that the rifle may be easily convertible to semi- or fully-automatic. Heckler & Koch disputed this claim, stating that the rifle was built from the ground-up as a bolt-action firearm
this went to court over here I am not sure how it ended up though
