We know it's boomerang because they say it is :

"Based on the evidence, the weapon was most likely made from wood rather than metal." ( 2nd topic on page).

But people who bash bones with real tools won't agree:

"It is not anticipated that a wooden chisel would meet the relevant requirements related to compliance with the essential principles and as such not be marketed promoted or supplied for use as a medical device.

So what happens next - do you want a doc to use wood to slice your bones or not?

Nicknicknick,

I have to laugh at how terms get re-defined. A child taken into care for neglect and abuse has, by definition, been 'stolen'. An Indigenous death in custody is automatically one too many, and a couple of kids who drown trying to avoid become 'deaths in custody', when clearly they were not in custody, otherwise .....

So now somebody whose skull has been bashed in by a boomerang has had 'boomerang surgery'. So what next ? A woman whose jaw has been smashed by a club has been undergoing dental surgery ? A child who dies of neglect and starvation (yes, it happens) is merely a consequence of parents encouraging her to face the exciting challenge of self-reliance ? Putting an old lady under a bush to die is encouraging her to contemplate a long and productive llife with sense of satisfaction ? Humbugging one's grandmother for her pension is an innovative form of resource re-distribution ?

When will people face up to reality and stop bullshirting ?

Loudmouth,
When there's no money to be made anymore from this sort of nonsense. So, hang in for a long wait.

"Boomerang surgery" is humour. It's humour because it is not possible. It's not possible because the Dept Health says . People don't chop up bones in the kitchen with wooden blades. That's because wooden blades don't cut bones.
There would be money in this for me if I could sell wooden bone-chisels to our hospital. I won't because i can't because they don't.
