Quick guide on how shit ends up getting banned in Australia:
1. Dumbass (usually christian/old) MP hears of a story where a single person has mis-used a particular item (read: alcohol, guns, laser pointers, airsoft)
2. Said dumbass creates a panic in parliament by making out as if said item is a threat to the personal safety of millions (read: alcohol, guns, laser pointers, airsoft)
3. Newspapers (Usually Herald Sun) catch wind of the the story and publish it on the front page, complete with bullshit filled, hyperbolic headline and fact twisting story.
4. Herald Sun readers (A LOT of people) throw their support behind the MP and his noble crusade.
5. Bill gets passed, restricting (read: guns, alcohol) or banning (read: laser pointers, airsoft) said item. MP hailed as modern day jesus by the general public and everybody is happy.
6. A few months/years pass and another MP finds something else to panic about.
and the cycle continues.
