It seems to be a victory for common sense.
Unlike the recent legistlation in the UK which based on (allegedly) around 5 fatalities per year from swords (amonst the many hundreds of murders committed with hand knives) banned anything considered a 'Samurai' type sword! Quite how our government feels this decision will better protect the public when by far the largest number of fatalities from egded weapons are victims of 'kitchen' knives is anyones guess.
I'm glad to see the Oz gov' has a little more common sense.
