Legalise the carriage of pocket knives by Australian citizens!

The issue

Once again, the good and honest Australian people must suffer due to offenders of the law. For too long, Australian citizens have been stripped of the humble pocket knife, a tool that comes in many forms. Perhaps a Swiss Army Knife, maybe a multi-tool. It's something that grandfathers have passed down to their children for centuries, and now it is restricted to the home only. Furthermore, any person found with a blade in their pocket is in for a fine, including the honest people who respect the knife as a tool rather than a weapon. The government may as well ban phone chargers, because criminals can strangle people with the cables! See how ridiculous it is?

In short, let's show the government that the good people of Australia want the pocket knife where it belongs-in pockets.

Who's with me?
