      it's one of those laws that the Police are selective in enforcing... this is evident most recently in the St.Kilda beach nationalist protests and counter protests by SJWs... crowds of SJWs chanting "Fuck Off, Nazis... Fuck Off" within feet of hundreds of uniformed Police officers were allowed to do it but you can bet your last dollar that if you are not in a group and use "offensive" language in a public place and a cop hears it that you will be arrested and charged.

      Because police are going to arrest an entire crowd of people for offensive language. They will sometimes fine someone swearing in public if they keep on carrying on within earshot of other people, not that I agree with that law.

It's like having a lock on everyones house but there's a master key that works on all of them that's floating around in governments and companies, but it's hard to tell if it's gone missing and needs to be replaced, because it can be duplicated and sent half way around the world in milliseconds.

      @@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes I didn't say it was banned? But it's definitely not "just complying with warrants". A successful encryption means that the only people that can view the data is the sender and the recipient, if a third party can intercept the data between the sender and receiver and they can view the contents, it isn't successfully encrypted. Australia has made it a legal requirement that companies that offer encrypted services, provide a method for third party interception, so that the government or other party can intercept data transmissions and view the contents. Australia has made it compulsory for encrypted services to build weaknesses into them. They haven't banned encryption, but they sure as hell have banned successful encryption and good security measures. They are going to cripple the nation's security under the guise of terrorism, all so they can spy on their own citizens and analyse big data to inform their decisions for manipulating the general publics perception of government.

      Motorcyclists aren't allowed to lane filter on a kerb or past a parked vehicle, over 30kmph, in a school zone, or at any time it is dangerous for anyone. It is also considered negligent driving if they stop at a red light over or past the line, overtake on the left or cut in front of vehicles too closely, or tailgate. Indicators must be used when merging lanes or turning at a road for 5 seconds. Stopping without warning "brake checking" or crossing over a traffic island is also illegal.

    That thing about refusing too many coins is useful. I filled up at a very busy servo on New Years Eve. The guy ahead of me in the queue piled a whole bunch of silver coins on the counter and said to the operator, 'Can you give me change in notes for this?' The operator spent some time pushing coins back and forth. In the end the register showed the guy had got $5 worth of petrol and handed over more than $22 in 5c and 10c coins to count. When I turned around the shop was filled with the waiting customers from every pump they had.

    In Denmark we have a similar law about coinage. Any cash transactions exceeding 146 pieces of tender (as in coins or notes) can be refused service...
    When I lived in Sydney back in childhood, my parents got grilled by the school staff for letting me walk to school on my own... something that is pretty normal in Denmark (even in many cities). Whether it's law or the incredibly paranoid safety approach that Aussie schools have is a mystery to me... I also met teachers who were on the verge of calling CPS just for going to the local store on my own (11-12 at the time, again, really normal in my country).
    Once I was asked by the principal on one of the first days "Don't you know that it isn't safe?" to which I simply answered: "I do know, that's why I'm careful and use common sense in traffic. Look both ways before crossing and such. Where I come from it's normal unless you live, like, 10 miles away... then most kinds just grab a bike to school..."
    I will never forget that look on her face... as if I came from friggin' Mars or something :D
    Friend of mine, literally 50 meters further down the road from me was driven to school every morning... total distance to school was about 300 meters, and half of that could be crossed by walking on school grounds... if we were allowed to walk by the kindergarten/preschool area...
    I did live close to a highway (Pacific Hwy), but I did have enough street smarts not to cross it or play football on it for that matter...

      Look about the world, how naive do you have to be to see multiculturalism doesn't work?
      People would rather live in separatism and isolationism. Multiculturalism seems to be more about exploitation and corruption than social cohesion. I mean, it could work with a lot of effort, but I don't think the government or community have the gumption.
      Actually Aboriginal tribes were killing one other and stealing babies far before the English arrived. Just as the Romans persecuted and oppressed the English for not centuries but 1000's of years. Aboriginals also missed out on things like the black plague. Black supremacy is "politically correct" while white supremacy is illegal. Don't mindlessly believe the first thing you see on the media or social media, conflict has always been a part of human history ( e.g. blog.ninapaley.com/2012/10/01/this-land-is-mine/ ). As bastardy as the British Empire was you've got to admire their resilience and technology.
      Things change and evolve. Open your mind, forgive, and move on.

    Not sure why this (currency stuff) is being called obscure or weird, considering they teach all this to school children. Also I think the issue of 'legal tender' slightly misses the mark. Legal tender applies to when you want to pay a debt/invoice and the issuer cannot refuse the currency tendered. Shop fronts can refuse the whole lot up front (e.g EFTPOS only is now more common) but it is the vendors choice if they want to lose the customer.

      There is no overcrowding. There is failure to invest in infrastructure, or deliberate sabotage of infrastructure.

      The biggest issue around immigration is that the federal government sets the rate, but the states build/pay for the infrastructure. The federal government chose to dramatically increase the rates, but the states had no time to adjust. The major cities suddenly had populations that the planning wasn't expecting for decades so it was simply impossible to catch up with the necessary infrastructure without huge disruptions. Plus of course the horribly poor management of the immigration program that let in low or unskilled workers(and then their families) because the system was too easy to abuse, workers would come in under a skilled program but be employed in unskilled roles.
      There is a seperate debate to be had about if migrants should be accepted from incompatible cultures or not but that's a huge minefield where too many people put emotions ahead of simple facts.

    In the mid 80's, Tasmania removed two laws from their drivers code, and one from their citizens laws. 1. A man may urinate behind their buggy between dusk and dawn if they can not be seen by a person of the opposite sex. 2. It is not permitted to angle park your horse and buggy. 3. A male is not permitted to be dressed in women's clothes outdoors between dusk and dawn. No one had a problem with the removal of these three laws.

      There is a limit to how much u small change you can use, but there is no limit to how many times you can go through the checkout so lines keep moving and if your only option is small change then it just means u have to go through the line a few more times or go at a time of day that isn't busy.
      Most supermarkets are pretty understaffed as it is, especially on checkouts.
