New knife sale ban for minors sees Jack’s Law getting tougher

As of September 1, new laws have come into effect across Queensland aimed at curbing knife crime. Retailers are now prohibited from selling knives to anyone under 18 and must display clear signage about these age restrictions. Additionally, certain controlled items, like double-edged knives and machetes, must be securely stored.
