Banned activities and objects in Oz...
Fireworks, cap guns, pop guns, spud guns...well any sort of gun ( even "scary" look alikes), slingshots, lasers, glowplug powered areoplanes (in parks), turbo powered cars for P-Platers (...but a Ferrari 458 is just fine), nail clippers & normal-sized tubes of toothpaste on aeroplanes...(well...lots of things on aeroplanes, including knitting needles...personally I think the food will get you first) ....I digress, photographing Uluru and for that matter- Sydney Harbour, photographing children at school events (including your own), radar detectors (despite the correlation between their use and lower crash rates), view non "Government approved" websites (if that brain-dead Conroy gets his way).
You can call someone a *******, but can't mention their race/colour/religion/sex in the same sentence, but in the West you can call someone a "Pommy *******" ( officially a term of endearment in W.A.).
Let's see, what else? Climb trees, prune trees, work in the middle of no-where without a day-glow vest/hardhat/goggles (or all three), ride a pushbike without a helmet, change a light bulb (unless you are an electrician), smoke with a child in the car..but they can light up if they wish.....
Any I've missed? Yep, a truly free and democratic society....
