Victoria Bans Machetes, Expands Police Powers
Update: 2025-11-30
Description
Victoria, Australia, has implemented strict new laws banning machete ownership, possession, and purchase. Following a three-month amnesty period, during which 25,000 weapons were surrendered, police now have expanded search powers and metal-detecting wands to enforce these rules. The amnesty cost $13 million, but the new laws aim to enhance public safety and reduce weapon-related incidents.
