dangerous goods

In NSW eating knives are specifically exempted under the relevant act, as are knives carried for religious purposes (one dozy constable got a good kick up the butt for harassing a Sikh taxi driver) and historical re-enactors. I believe Victoria decided they had to go 'one better' than NSW and included eating knives in the naughty list.

Again in NSW, only coloured paints are restricted, if you look around the corner from the paint cage you will find bays of clear spray finishes with unrestricted access.

Spray paints in the Toowoomba Bunnings are on open shelves. It looks as though state legislation varies considerably.

I often ask at cash registers if they would like to see proof of age for restricted items, but I haven't had any takers: Pretty slack to my mind .

Even in Bunnings in WA they seem to go by different rules for spray paints.

In most bunnings all the rust resistant spray paints like Epoxies (some of which are quite brightly coloured) are on open shelves but on one local branch even those are in cages.
