Victoria, Australia – In a move that’s being watched closely by gun and knife rights advocates worldwide, the state of Victoria has become the first Australian jurisdiction to officially ban machetes—a broad class of bladed tools with blades longer than 20 centimeters.
Effective September 1, the new law criminalizes the ownership, sale, use, or purchase of a machete without special government exemption.
To support the crackdown, Victoria has launched a so-called “Machete Amnesty” and set up over 40 confiscation-disposal bins at police stations across the state. The bins—reinforced steel containers anchored by concrete—are designed to receive the dangerous surrendered machetes without penalty until November 30.
