I'm just waiting until they remember why borders are a thing that exists.
Absolute stupidity and a waste of taxpayers' money spending so much time on this nonsense.
These incompetent morons are pretty much guaranteeing that they will lose the next election. In the middle of a housing and inflation crisis this is what these fuckheads decided was important.
I loathe the opposition, but it's hard to defend the sheer incompetence the Labor Party has displayed their entire term.
I am so, so glad to see that at least one country in the world is willing to tackle this problem.
Also a little depressed that every comment thread about this law boils down to: "It's hard. Might as well not do it at all," especially from people who (rightly) think we need to ban guns every time a school gets shot up here in the US, which would be monumentally difficult socially but 100% needs to happen.
