Australian for Ridiculous.

So I was reading a garden-variety news story about this rioting that's broken out in Australia between white supremacists and middle eastern types. Nothing terribly shocking there, as these are two groups that seem to find themselves amidst violence frequently. Nationalism and class/race warfare seems to be on the rise many places: like France, Belgium, Netherlands, and most scarily, China.

So while we're on a roll with some stereotyping, what took me aback was this quote:

The state government will also increase the jail term for rioting from five to
15 years and double the penalty for affray, fighting in public, to 10 years.

In Australia you used to get five years for fighting in public??? Now ten years?? That's Australian for the punishment not really fitting the crime. They're going to ruin their reputation. I hope no cops ever drop into an Australian Rules Football game.
