As of Thursday the 31st of November, 2000, the advancement of weapons restriction in Australia has increased. The weapons ban currently in force in Australia includes all fully and semi automatic firearms, pump action rifles, all hand held firearms, including bb guns and replicas. However, the South Australian Government has now added to the Federal Governments ban on weapons. The new weapons ban law now includes knives, swords, knuckle busters, hand held crossbows, martial arts weapons and more. Exceptions however do exist for ceremonial use or training inside a club. The penalty for being in possesion of these weapons is a $10,000 fine or 2 years imprisonment or both. This is a frightening prospect when considering the right to defend oneself against an intruder or defending ones family against unconstitutional government. The intruduction of these new laws in South Australia cause more concern when compared with the new Federal laws introduced in September 2000.

The New Federal laws allow the intervention of Federal Troops to quell civil disturbances. The Govenor General can order Federal troops in to quell a civil disturbance (ie. protests like that which have happened in Seattle at the WTO Forum) even if the use of troops is not requested by an individual state government. The frightening thing here is the scenario that if troops are called in and the state does not want them it could result in a standoff between federal troops and state police. This exact scenario was the concern of the Australian Federal Police Association spokesman, who openly oppossed the new law.

On their individual merit such laws might not seem much to be concerned about - but when you look at the larger picture and these new laws that disarm their citizenry it is a very frightening and compeling picture.

Australia and New Zealend, in the past, have been the testing grounds for NWO policy - so if it is happening here it will come to a country near you soon. With these new laws being brought in in Australia soon its citizens will only be left to defend themselves against totalitarians with nothing but pitch forks. Huh - that is if they are not illegal by then to.
