Victoria State to Ban Machete Sales

Following a recent surge in violent crime involving machetes, the Australian state of Victoria is moving to ban their sale to the public.

Premier Jacinta Allan recently inspected a display of confiscated machetes at Victoria Police Headquarters in Melbourne. This action underscores the government's commitment to reducing knife-related violence.
