Jayb,

"Oh, Is mise, <the Sikhs don't carry a dagger; just so we all know that of which we are writing.>

Let me remind you of the Topic here.
<Should Sikhs be allowed to carry ceremonial daggers ?>

Shakes head in disgust."

Well to be strictly on topic, Sikhs should not be allowed to carry ceremonial daggers, but as they don't carry ceremonial daggers the topic is irrelevant, misinformed and misleading.

In Canberra you can carry a knife for entertainment, recreation, sport, official uniform or religious purposes (CRIMES ACT 1900 - SECT 382): http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/act/consol_act/ca190082/s382.html

The issue came up when one of my colleagues mentioned that their academic regalia came with a sword. Part of the graduation ceremony was the sharpening of the sword.
