So an Australian state police minister visited a training facility and posed with a "machine gun". Someone points out that this is a criminal offense if he didn't have a loicense.

For context, Australia's gun laws are so strict a bb gun or paintball gun is illegal unless you have a permit or are on a range.

There's very specific rules about who can touch an automatic weapon (generally army or specialist police / corrections officers).

And our gun culture is so bad if you even think about saying "I'd like to go hunting vermin and pests/shoot paper targets with a low powered shitty bolt action rifle" you turn into a social pariah.

Fuck this country I'm moving to Dramerica.

Police are looking into whether NSW Police Minister David Elliott broke the law, after a photo surfaced of him firing a submachine gun at a rifle range for prison officers.

In a statement, NSW Police said the Minister yesterday contacted Police Commissioner Michael Fuller in relation to "Concerns over the conduct of the shooting range".

The Minister has also been the subject of a NSW Police review after a 17-year-old P-plater alleged Mr Elliott grabbed his arm and chased him through the streets after a minor car crash last October.

Australia, your Brit is showing.

Australia inherited our licensing fetish, America inherited our desire for tax bureaucracy and Canada inherited our persistent cuckoldry.

Australia has plenty of bureaucracy, and as for cuckoldry have you seen any of our last 5-6 Prime Ministers?

Also you forgot India in your analysis of former colonies. Don't think you can sweep that under the rug.

have you seen any of our last 5-6 Prime Ministers?

LOL. Nobody cares enough about outback steakhouse to know who the manager is.

Outback steakhouse isn't Australian. It's not even remotely authentic (well done rump and burnt sausages with BBQ sauce from a bottle is more the Australian thing, and we don't do 2 million calorie fried onions either).

Whatever you say.

At least, the suck is dilluted.

But in many ways, worse.
