Lived in WA most of my life, never had a problem with WA police.

Last time I visited Sydney in 2019 it began to feel like a city from another country and the police presence was a large part of that.

One thing I’ll never shake is the guards stationed outside the AFP building in the CBD with automatic weapons. Only places I’ve ever seen a sight like that are places like Mindanao in the Philippines, where insurgent terrorists are a real threat.
