Dumbest Laws In Australia

1. Illegal To Wear Hot Pink Hot Pants After Noon On Sundays

So turns out this is a law for some odd reason. The first thing I noticed in this "law" was the use of the word "hot" twice. How do you make a color hot? I don't know. How do you make pants hot? Actually, that's possible. But I mean I guess people are against "hot pink hot pants" on Sundays. It's always Sunday, I swear.

2. Illegal To Release Balloons In The Environment

I'm not sure what the context of environment means here, but if it has anything to do with the sky (which it probably does), then I'm in huge trouble. I guess it could be polluting to just leave balloons in the "environment", but like, they're balloons. Who doesn't love balloons? Unless if you have some balloon allergy.

3. Illegal To Possess 50 kgs Of Potatoes In Western Australia

I guess that means people can't serve a lot of homemade potato chips or hashbrowns at occasions here. How fun. But also, while researching, it said nothing about not being able to possess more than 50 kgs. You just can't possess 50 for some reason. Why do I keep saying possess? That sounds very formal.

4.  Illegal For Taxi Cabs In Queensland To Not Have A Bale Of Hay

Ummm......I don't know how this came about. I can just imagine a family visiting a city in Queensland, and they need a ride to their hotel. When they open the trunk for their suitcases, what a big surprise that has been awaiting them.

5. Illegal To Vacuum At Night

I guess that could make sense....so you don't disturb your folks. But what if you have a vacuuming obsession? However, if you're Australian and nocturnal and love to vacuum, that is a sure recipe for disaster.

6. Illegal To Fly A Kite 'To The Annoyance Of A Person' In Victoria

Okay, this one. I swear. If you wanna sound like you're some very formal person, problem solved. But I guess people think kites are annoying. Nothing you can do about it.

7. Illegal To Roam The Streets Wearing Black Clothes, Felt Shoes, And Black Shoe Polish On Your Face

I can't imagine anyone wanting to put black shoe polish on their face, but I guess it's illegal to be a ninja in Australia. Big whoop. If anyone wants to pursue the career of a ninja, don't come to Australia. You will be heavily looked down upon. 

8. Illegal To Spit In Brisbane On Account Of Being "Disgusting" And "Gross" 

Whatever. I guess spitting has now become a crime. What else is new?

9. Illegal To Change Lightbulbs In Victoria Unless If You're a Qualified Electrician 

I guess a lot of people really had to mess up changing light bulbs in Victoria. Why is it just Victoria with the stupidest laws? But I mean, is changing light bulbs really that hard? C'mon now.

10. Illegal To Not Wear Neck-To-Knee Bathers In Victoria's Brighton Beach

Again with Victoria. I feel like this is Australia's dumbest state. And this law, I didn't even know neck-to-knee bathers even existed. What a pity that it must be mandatory to wear those.

Have you broken any of these laws? Let me know in the comments. Every country has some dumb laws, but I think we have a new winner.
