    1. 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
    2. 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.
    3. 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…
    4. 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)
    5. It’s clear there was an issue with machetes. There needs to be mechanisms in place to allow enforcements.
    6. 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.
