Just heard some unbelievable news. Finished a job across the border in Queensland 3 days ago. Returned to NSW with my tool trailer that’s been up there for 5 weeks. Good timing it seems as an announcement today by the psychotic Qld govt states that the kill shot jab is now required to enter the state as of Friday. WTF. My family live in North Qld. I wonder whether I’ll ever see them again. Fuck this shit. https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/news/expect-delays-strict-new-controls-introduced-on-the-queenslandnsw-border/news-story/7d57255896a1a288138b9cbd77c22e29

Btw, if Aussies were never armed prior to 1996, how did tens of thousands of guns (or more) get handed in during the buy back scheme?
...And the cops can turn up anytime to inspect whether your guns are all stored away locked up in separate safes to the ammo. It’s kinda fucking ridiculous as an understatement
There always will be guns in our system, but, Aussies have never been "armed" in an American sense. Myself personally, have never seen a gun in my presence. Not one American can say that. Aussies tend to fight with their fists/words not with guns.
I personally know of many people who handed in their guns and many more who grew up with guns being a normal part of life. A mate in childhood remembers having loaded shotguns at either end of his house to (rightly or wrongly) deal with the abundant brown snakes on his farm. I live in the bush. I’ve many friends with registered firearms. I don’t think Aussies have fought with guns since the Eureka Stockade. The only Americans fighting with guns are the gangs. The beautiful thing about gun ownership in the USA is it’s the great equaliser. Someone as diminutive as Lauren Boebert can defend herself from a 7ft 130kg rapist. Not so the Oz girls. Edit to add: American patriots mostly fight with words and fists too, increasingly the latter lately with the antifags lol
That’s sad. Sorry to hear that. Little Johnnie fucked us over big time post Port Arthur
