Commuters have been forced to scramble to safety after a machete fight broke out at Flinders Street Station, injuring one teenager and ending in six arrests....
Who did the machete ban inconvenience exactly? They’re not even a good tool for Australia.
And, if you watch the YouTube videos of people showing how “critical” they are, it was clear they had never used one and were just complaining, and using them as a political argument (same people who claim they can’t use the roads because of potholes)… or people who claim they need 10+ guns
Last video I saw was someone using it in long grass basically, and it was clear they were in a park from some of their camera angles, and we’re simply acting for the camera.
Nobody actually uses them. In fact, I tried to buy one a few years back, and nobody sold them anymore (not even bunnings)
But, if you tell the local far right wing population they can’t buy something, they’ll blow it out of proportion and pretend like the world is falling.
Even park rangers weren’t using them it seems and it’s hilarious that people talking about the ban never seem to be using machetes themselves, and are talking on behalf of people who likely don’t even exist
People who had one and used it for the actual purpose of the tool rather than street fights.
I’ve had one for a few years now and it’s been quite useful, particularly when you want something more portable than a brushhook (which is another useful tool idiots would probably like to ban because it looks scary). I don’t live in Victoria but the push to expand the ban would directly inconvenience me.
Believe it or not it’s not just the far right who use edged tools, and it’s annoying how often people who don’t have or use one feel the need to pop up and speak authoritatively about how nobody should use one because they don’t (this goes all the way down to pocket knives sadly).
