In London in 2017 I got to speak with a couple of cops outside Whitehall, both had sub machine guns.
When I said from Oz they both pointed out that our cops all wear a gun.
We do have crime here, guy down in Tassie set a world record at one time for mass shootings, he lost that to some yank.
He is still inside for life at it is estimated almost half a million dollars a year, length of rope costs about $20.
Most of the crime here is drug related and one of the biggest busts has just occurred.
But the new prisons are better equipped than some old persons homes, and better fed.
