Jacinta Allan latest BS. The funny thing about this is, straight after this segment was shown on the news the next subject was a robbery using an axe. Where will it end banning screw drivers. Criminals will find a weapon any where. Why not trying to actually come up with decent laws. OHH that’s right we do have them already but they are not being implemented by the courts and the police are useless. Adult crime adult time and deportations for criminal offenses. The zombie machetes that are actually mentioned can barely keep an edge and are not meant to be used, they are more for decorations. If they were used on a tree they would be blunt in seconds or snap. The edge have very little temper in them. great for threatening people and would give a nasty gash but not a realistic weapon.

The Victorian nanny state strikes again !

One other point is Ive never seen a crackhead/criminal that spends good money on a high end cutting tool. They purchase the cheapest piece of junk they can lay their hands on. If you commit a crime and need to dispose of a tool you don’t want to throw away a $400 machete.

Any blade over 20 cm will be classed as a machete !Well F^k me. most of my knives are over that length and I wouldn’t call them machetes. So I take it that carrying around a large blade is legal at the moment. What utter BS. We don’t need bans we need the police to actually do their jobs. The basis of these laws will be to place out bins so criminals can dispose of their illegal weapons. I can see other criminals going around and emptying the bins afterwards. How dumb are these politicians.
