May Shiva bless you if our legislation conflicts with beliefs or ideas there is enough Islamaphobia as it is without screwing with every culture that exists within Australia, we love to claim how multicultural we are yet our government insists on suppressing a good 70% of it (if you were curious what the 30% is I would guess food,music,clothes and literature).

I am Australian born and my heritage is German, Welsh, Dutch, Greek and whatever else I'm forgetting so I have no bias towards any culture just so everyone is aware.   

I sometimes think they've contracted a monkey with a type writer to do all our rules and regulations for example you're allowed to ship Kava online but is prohibited to have which is strange because a number of people have taken it through customs having declared "I have 1Kilo of Kava for cultural purposes" with no issues at all!

Then you see people getting caught with 290kilos "$550,000" worth of an illicit substance!?!

Resulting in stuff like this "Entire scaffolding industry of Queensland on strike over ban on kava — The Betoota Advocate"

Beyond salty at the moment :x
