ONE LAW FOR THE WELL CONNECTED

The Courier-Mail (26-03-04) had an interesting little story entitled

 

"Union offices wrecked in repeated raids". 
 

Transport Workers Union of Queensland sec. Hughie Williams believes the five "pay back" raids on the offices over the past year were attempts to intimidate or a form of retaliation...  To protect himself he now Carries a "zapper" weapon which delivers an electrical charge on contact. 

Really?  I wonder if you need a new license for that?  Could you or I with impunity buy one and keep it for self protection and tell the Courier-Mail all about it?  I wonder if an assistant commissioner of police would classify this as a "farming instrument" -- for keeping pests away, perhaps.
