Australia is becoming a lawless society for the scum class in our society. It's sad. If the state and federal governments have their way the problem will only get worse, but don't worry, they'll be there to prosecute you if you slip up and act out in self-defense.
Basically, there is no justice for the good. No deterrent for the bad, and a weak slap on the wrist anyway even if they get you in front of a judge.
