>NewShitWales still bans the 'scary' black pistolgrip ones, but if its got a 'normal' stock it’s somehow safer.
This is being revoked soon hopefully because it’s ridiculous, and NSW should be ashamed

The action must still be manually cycled and therefor is still considered a manual bolt action rifle. Pushing a button is no different to cycling a bolt on a standard .22 rimfire rifle, technically speaking they are the exact same. They’re just scared of the noise it makes when it cycles, that’s all it comes down to.
People have run tests and in some cases have been able to cycle FASTER than a lever release by manually cycling. Being afraid of lever release mechanisms is an utter gimmick, just like being afraid of a gun’s appearance is, and that is why any state with common sense and logic does not prohibit guns based on appearance or their bolt action mechanism specifically, but rather on their ability to self load without any manual user input or fire continuously.
