australian summary jurisdiction judges are assholes, they are basically barely more than the buddy of the prosecution lawyer, whose job is to get a conviction no matter what... i mean, what are tehy, magistrate courts

and the lawyers are all buddy buddy with each other, i don't wish that on you, i went through my process fighting licensure, drew on old laws from british law that the constitution specifically grandfathers in, the magistrate spent almost an hour reading irrelevant case law, not addressing the fact that old british laws specifically prohibited government monopolies

these weapons laws are based on the idea that simply having a "weapon" is a crime and thus everything else works backwards to reinforce that, it's prejudicial, so, i hope you don't get any problem with it... if they have already seized it, you just need to maybe get a lawyer to consult on how you are going to avoid as much as possible being prosecuted over it because it's ridiculous

and just a fresh reminder why i don't live in that shithole country
