21.01.2022 The NSW Government promulgated a Ministerial order yesterday that came into force at 0001 today dealing with public health (COVID-19 restictions on gatherings a...nd movement. As is Governments practice, irrespective of political persuasion, it created a restriction then set out exceptions. The restriction that will effect most is set out below: Ministerial order in NSW Government Gazette No. 65 , Monday 30th March 2020 which came into force at 0001 31 March 2020 Public Health (COVID-19 Restictions on Gatherings and Movement) Order 2020 Part 2 Movement 5. Direction of the Minister concerning staying at home (1) The Minister directs that a person must not, without reasonable excuse, leave the persons place of residence. (2) For the purposes of subclause (1), a reasonable excuse includes doing an activity specified in Schedule 1. Schedule 1: Reasonable excuses 1. Obtaining food or other goods or services for personal needs of the house hold or other household purposes (including for pets) and for vulnerable persons; 2. Travelling for the purpose of work if the person can not work from the persons place of residence; 3. Travelling for the purpose of attending childcare (including picking up or dropping off another person at childcare); 4.

For a person who is a Priest, Minister of Religion or member of a religious order - going to the persons place of worship or providing pastoral care to another person; 15. Avoiding injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm; 16. For emergencies or compassionate reasons. Note: Clause 5 specifically mentions that a holiday in a regional center is not a reasonable excuse. Schedule 2 deals with essential gatherings. It could perhaps be argued that the list in Schedule 1 is not an exhaustive list of reasonable excuses. Specifically Clause 5(2) specifies that :for the purpose of subclause (1) a reasonable excuse includes doing an activity specified in Schedule 1. The word includes opens the possibility that there may be more reasonable excuses. What is reasonable: Justice Dowsett in R v Julian (1998) 100 A Crim R 430 at 448 (Queensland Court of Appeal) said that "[t]he word `reasonable' is widely used in the law. Great issues are often resolved by reference to it. It is not, however, a term of art. It is an ordinary word having the meaning attributed to it by ordinary people. (...) Inherent in all of [its] meanings is the element of judgment. This inevitably implies the possibility that reasonable people will differ in their judgments without departing from the bounds of reasonableness However if you are doing something not specifically listed, provided that the activity undertaken is similar to, but not the same as, a listed exception, it could be argued that the ejusdem generis rule of statutory interpretation should apply, ie that the activity undertaken is in the same family or class as a listed exception. You might however have to also consider an appeal if your argument fails in the first instance. Isn’t the law a wonderful thing. So f#%king easy to follow.

06.01.2022 In these modern times there is a growing tendency to make purchases using smartphones and other electronic devices. Mostly, internet purchases don’t cause any problems, irrespective of the jurisdiction the item is obtained from. However, problems can arise if you are a weapons fancier. What may be legal in one jurisdiction may not be legal here. Recently I acted for a client who made a purchaser of a taser and knuckledusters using an app called Wish. No problem making the... purchase and they even escaped detection while passing through Customs. However NSW Police received information about a client having drugs and unlicensed weapons at his property. A search warrant was obtained and in the course of the execution of the warrant Police found a few additional items including what have been determined to be imitation firearms being used as wall decorations. What then is an imitation firearm? Generally a firearm is an object that is capable of propelling a projectile by means of an explosive. You are required to hold a firearms licence if you want to own a firearm. Imitation firearms have never been capable of propelling a projectile by means of an explosive. However S.4D(2) of the Firearms Act provides that an imitation firearm is firearm that is an imitation of a pistol is taken to be a pistol (the same can be said for revolvers and prohibited weapons). While you don’t need a license to possess an imitation firearm you do need a permit issued by the Commissioner of Police or his or her delegate the OIC of the Firearms Registry, There has been a move away from describing things as replicas but neither the Firearms Act or the Weapons Prohibition Act defines the word imitation. The online dictionaries describe an imitation to be a thing intended to simulate or copy something else The Acts excludes objects that are said to be a child’s toy. Common sense really. Many items that could be classified as imitation firearms are sold at sports stores in many locations. When sold they have coloured caps on them to signify that they aren’t the real thing. However, it seems that to the enthusiast the coloured caps detract from the aesthetic appeal of the wall decoration. The problem being, that if the cap is removed to make the thing appear more real, you may cross the line and require a permit to have the thing, even as a wall decoration.
