Yes Victoria has banned sandblasting. I don't think all of Australia but just that area that I know of. The edict was sandblasting creates dust microns which are above a certain size that are not allowed to get in the atmosphere. Companies are still allowed to sandblast but they have to have the equivelant of a downdraft paint booth to control/filter/recycle the dust. Home type sandblasters the hobbyist used have been outlawed and there are major fines if getting caught using one.
Look at our own Peoples Republic of Kalifornia. Some counties have outlawed backyard barbeques and now you are not allowed in some locales to burn wood in your fireplace as it creates smoke pollution.
The Green Party in Europe is very strong. In the US it would be the equivelant if Ralph Naders party got into power. You know the same guy that killed the corvair, does not have a drivers license and has emphatically stated he would create legislation to get cars off the road in mass numbers and require people to use mass transit.
Much of the legislation behind the Green party is not about the environment but "people control" as they are tied in with the socialist & communist parties to build their power base.
Notice who was protesting the war against Irag in out own cities? Look at the bottom of the signs they were carrying. Tada it was sponsored by the Workers Party of America which is/has been a communist based organization and at one time was funded by the USSR before they went bellyup.
Sorry for the rant.
