why is defending yourself / your family still illegal in australia?

in australia, if an armed intruder breaks into your home, you are not allowed to defend yourself in any way, shape, or form.
if the individual is between you and your child, you are supposed to run in the opposite direction and leave your child to be raped and killed.

the government likes to pretend that the whole of australia has the same crime problems as a high income, rural town in queensland 20 years ago.
meanwhile melbourne and sydney are as bad as most of europe and parts of the U.S now, and there is no extra police or resources dedicated to these havens of crime.

i can almost understand why a stun gun or pepper spray could cause more problems than it solves in a rural christian town with 60 people.
but why does the same laws have to apply melbourne and sydney? where most of the population lives, and most of the crime happens.... but we are all covered by this one blanket of laws from 2+ decades ago.

even stab proof clothing is illegal here....

You are allowed to use reasonable force. How are you this stupid.

what is 'reasonable force' exactly?
what option does an elderly or disabled person have?

You DO get that that law stops you from being 'accidentally' shot by drunken abbos, right?

Because you can't stop him getting a gun license because of race, that would be wacist.

What is it about the anti-gun/Authoritarian movement when they always go after non-lethal weapons once guns, knives, and the like are banned?
The only possible reason to bring charges against a woman for using pepper spray on a rapist is to create a culture of helplessness that enables the government to interfere in every aspect of its citizens' lives.

Australia is a sad joke of a police state

Any nation that doesn't let you legally own weapons considers you a stupid child that needs to be ruled

australians will bitch about america, but i spent a month driving around america earlier this year (all of the west coast and some of NY) and 95% of the places i visited honestly felt safer than australia.
the NYC subway is literally safer and cleaner than melbournes underground stations.

We can legally own weapons, its just that you need to pass background checks and not be a mentally unstable cunt.

Does your olfactory system not work? NYC smells worse than an abo mission.

you can have a bolt action rifle for shooting kangaroos after you've jumped through a million hoops. You're definitely not allowed to have guns.

the smell is a different story.
manhattan and new jersey smell literally worse than fucking india.

>what is 'reasonable force' exactly?
Anything necessary to stop the threat. If some bloke from work has come to bash you, there's an expectation that you're going to disengage if possible. If someone has broken into your house at midnight, you do whatever is necessary to stop the threat and protect your loved ones. If that means you have to kill the intruder, that's fine.

You have NFI.

what good does a cricket bat or bayonet do against intruders breaking into your home at 3am with sawed off shotguns and automatic pistols?

It means whatever weapon you choose to defend yourself with, have a second that you can plant on your attacker.

You can use guns.

>sawed off shotguns and automatic pistols?
These don't exist in Australia according to the ignorant seppo.

The fuck am I looking at?

>in australia, if an armed intruder breaks into your home, you are not allowed to defend yourself in any way, shape, or form.
Someone doesn't live in south australia, we are allowed to use reasonable force if someone is in our homes

>Why do you need a gun goy?

this unironically reads like some shit out of 1984.

you need to be a more progressive goy

Lol. It takes more than a back ground check pal. A lot more

from my limited research
You are allowed to defend yourself and others, but possibly not your possessions, and only within "reasonable force". The law is lenient enough that you will get away with a lot so long as you play it safe and/or have a good lawyer, but not good enough that you won't get fucked if you slip up.
Say if you defend your home with a weapon and kill or maim an intruder, you need a reason as to why you thought that the degree of force used was necessary to neauteralise the threat to you or your family. Immediate danger needs to be clarified, and the degree of it as well. Say if you lay out a robber with a cricket bat, you would want to say the magic words "it looked like he had a knife" and "I feared for my life". You are only allowed to act defensively, and not offensively, which means that you might defend yourself from an immediate attack but not pursue an intruder.
Regardless of the law, you're probably going to get fucked if you defend yourself with a real weapon like a sword or a gun.
The law is too ambiguous and restrictive and really must be changed with all these fucking violent immigrants around, and weapons laws with it

Feels good MATE

Interestingly, you can't legally own FLIR/thermal rifles scopes in this state. Really makes you hmm.

Maybe in the bitch nigger states. In South Australia you can legally fuck up anyone who breaks into your house, no "reasonable force" or "fearing for my life" bullshit either.

Gov notices, bides it's time, then utilizes an aneurysm or heart attack inducing satellite beam execution.
Carcinogenic accelerators are also (rarely) deployed.
Then there's the ol' "self-suicide" and domestic accident trip and head bumps... etc.
These tactics are also used on state agents that have been coerced or entrapped into committing aforementioned activities in their later lives as a de facto guilt associative "moralisation" is rationalised.
I wonder how often these kinda things happen elsewhere...

Not really. But you innercity folk are disconnected from reality.
