Comment on Machetes to be banned from sale in Victoria the wake of Northland Shopping Centre brawl

  Rural NSW bushland - heaps of people around here have machetes and cane knives. Useful for cutting through vines, small saplings, lantana, etc. My cane knife is probably my 3rd most used tool when doing outdoor work on my property.

    Yeah fair enough. You will still be able to use and keep the one you’ve got though. It’s a sales ban not an ownership ban

      And what happens when it breaks and you need a new one?

        I suppose it’s time to move on then. It is just a sharp stick. I’m sure you can use something else
