Man, reading that article made me sad. Yeah the emergency services gets more calls, but what’s the point in living if you can’t have a bit of fun now and then?
We’ve collectively given up our right to be fucking idiots.
Probably my most consistent complaint with Australia over the years. Everyone just BEGS to be wrapped in cotton wool. Everything is banned. It’s progressively become the most boring country in the entire world, especially in major centres.
Over regulated and tightly controlled, meanwhile the general population seem to beg for more rules. Odd for a nation where an outlaw is our folk hero.
Australia likes to see itself as the irreverent larrikin but really we seem to be a nation of wowsers.
Too much fluoride in the water mate, it makes you docile and compliant. I joke, people are just weak as piss.
Feels like if the residents of Darwin wanted to ban it they could.
I’ve been in Darwin for Territory Day. It’s actually a real sight to behold. Small fires everywhere… saw a playground on fire even.
Same! lived there for a bit. Had sooo much fun on Territory Day. 10/10
Sound like…a blast.
It’s more of a bang to be honest.
