tbh the two bin bags of litter left at the picnic site isnt that big a deal. Though this deends how it was left if the bin bags were just randomly dumped in the middle then thats not too good. But if they were left together kind of tidy next to a sign or something for the ranger to pick up that...

this IMO is just a sneaky way to being able to bring in total knife and edged tools legislation through the back door. By saying by stopped the use of swords (doesnt matter that few are used to commit crimes) however all these criminals are now using *insert term here* lets ban these instead...
