Thank you for reporting this. I'm a Yank in Oz, and - from my first day here, I was in awe of how little the Aussie people protest for their rights. OK - melt the guns (that's when I heard about murders with machetes & chainsaws)... (and those guns somehow found their way back onto the streets to commit later crimes - how did that happen?)
I am a martial artist, and I'm not sure what I would have to do to acquire a live weapon for practice. I'm not allowed shuriken, katana, or even some of the blunt style weapons. WTF?
When I was in high school in the US , my best friend got in trouble for having a 7" blade. I think she was all of 5'2", maybe 99 pounds. She told them she used it to clean her nails. (it was a relatively safe environment, but she came from a tougher family - but - same city a few years later, I became very aware of my vulnerability in a different neighbourhood, and started with the martial arts).
I'm wondering: WHAT IS A KNIFE?
I carry a handy tiny Swiss Army thing that they won't let me take on the plane, but would it be seized at Central Station? Is a knife 2"? 4"? 6" or just bigger than the dick of the cop who is searching me?
At what point does a useful blade become a weapon, in the eyes of the "wanders?"
What a shame! Reminds me the communist Romania “friendly” police. We ended up looking at them like to trash, even after so called “revolution”. They were abusing their jobs, accepting bribes with the same superior attitudes like questioning you. Knives were called “ white weapons”. Even a book was considered a weapon against the regime if officially was censored. We never felt like a society protected by them, never trusted them. They served the government. Unfortunately during the Covid s**t show, many considered free countries experienced abusive police actions.
I remember after the Bondi Junction incident there were a few videos making the rounds highlighting some maybe staged or sus aspects of the official story. Then those videos went away...
That horrific video of the Victorian police officer pepper-spraying the elderly grandmother at point blank range in the face was arguably one of the most disturbing images of the whole pandemic in my opinion, among many others 😠👎. What made it worse was seeing ALL other officers behind him just step over her like she wasn’t even there. Sure, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time but WHY would any large group of cops feel so threatened by an elderly woman that they felt the need to resort to such violent tactics???. Hopefully, we’ll never have to endure such horrors again anytime soon.
Operation Ames. Ames is not French for friend. The French for friends: Les Amies. Ami (m). Amie (f). I'm unsure what the French state is doing about the non binary 'they'.

LOL - If our knives can't be bigger than the dig of the cop searching us, we are in big trouble :-)
Fucking outrageous. Time to go nude!

According to the Oxford English Dictionary - Ames c1275 'wickedly,sinfully; with evil intent . . .
Operation Ames. Ames is not French for friend. The French for friends: Les Amies. Ami (m). Amie (f). I'm unsure what the French state is doing about the non binary 'they'.
