Part 2/6:
One of the main topics discussed is the government's plan to install collection boxes outside police stations for people to voluntarily surrender their knives, including machetes. The panelists critique this approach as being ineffective, pointing out that criminals are unlikely to hand over weapons voluntarily—especially when they are already engaged in illegal activities.
Mark Nicholson of Stepmate Studios sarcastically remarks that this strategy seems more like a "bright idea" from the Victorian government that is unlikely to yield meaningful results. He further speculates that many offenders are already criminals who have no incentive to relinquish their weapons, suggesting that the move may be more symbolic than practical.
