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....
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).
You can’t easily buy them, and haven’t been able to for years. Bunnings and Total Tools haven’t sold them for years. So, given how useful they are, where are all these shops? In other states, you have to use
List some examples of when you use your machete exactly and where? Every time I ask this, it’s always a vague response, or none.
Parks VIC don’t use them, and either does friends of Parks for maintenance. You’d think the guys in dense bush would need them…
Every lobbyist video was a guy holding one simply saying how useful it was talking shit about the government, or the last one was a guy hacking at grass and failed even at that (Scythes AREN’T banned btw)
It’s clear there was an issue with machetes. There needs to be mechanisms in place to allow enforcements.
In Victoria, they’re actually LEGAL for use in Agriculture/farming still anyway. So, the complaints are even more dumb lol
So, I’d love to hear your awesome use-cases.
And yes, it’s always the right wing getting upset about absolutely dumb stuff, such as Trans people, being able to own 10+ guns, paper bags, etc.
