It's Sunday and I'm once again searching for weird facts about the country and continent of Australia. Suddenly, a shady site appears with the "fact" that, in Australia, a life sentence is twenty five years. It was a little strange, especially considering the site also said that, "It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burglar" and "It is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday Sunday" in Australia (http://www.dumblaws.com/laws/australia). However, in my quest to find a legitimate random fact about Australia, I searched for a more trusted resource.
The government website was really hard to navigate, but I did come across a few random laws. This year in South Australia, they revised Gaming Machines Variation Regulation to possibly exempt people who are on "vessels" in the Australian waters. Also, if they have a problem with their boss, it must be in writing. However, nothing too intense was discovered by research. I honestly think that the Australian government is very secretive or unorganized with their website. It was really hard for me to find something broad, I needed a specific search. So it may be possible that you can't wear those amazing new, hot pink pants next Sunday night in Australia. The true fact: I can't find anything on the Australian government website. This may give something for people to think about when they are considering messing around with the law in Australia.
