Brett Curran<\/a> said children made up 25 per cent of knife-crime offenders in the state.<\/p>\n“We want to get those machetes and knives off these children,” he told reporters at Melbourne West Police Station on Thursday.<\/p>\n
“These bins provide an opportunity for families who might be concerned about the things their kids have to get those machetes, knives … out of the reach of their children.”<\/p>\n
An average of 44 machetes, knives and blades are taken off Victorian streets each day.<\/p>\n
Some 14,805 edged weapons were seized in 2024, with another 8900 confiscated by police to date in 2025.<\/p>\n
Melbourne will host most of the disposal bins across the city at 24-hour police stations with CCTV.<\/p>\n
They will also be placed at stations in Ballarat, Bendigo, Echuca, Geelong, Horsham, Mildura, Morwell, Sale, Shepparton, Swan Hill, Wangaratta, Warragul, Warrnambool, Wodonga and Wonthaggi.<\/p>\n
Police won’t be easily fooled by knife-carrying offenders stopped in the street who falsely claim they’re heading to an amnesty bin.<\/p>\n
“Our police are really smart – they’ll know and test that kind of statement,” Mr Curran said.<\/p>\n
“The outcome of that will be that we’ve got the knife anyway.”<\/p>\n
A national gun buyback was instituted by the Howard government after 35 people were killed in the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.<\/p>\n
The 12-month scheme lead to the surrender and destruction of more than 650,000 firearms.<\/p>\n
Mr Curren said no incentive was needed to encourage Victorians to forfeit blades, pointing to people caught after the ban facing up to two years in jail or a fine of more than $47,000.<\/p>\n
Ms Allan said a public awareness campaign begins this week to spread word of the amnesty.<\/p>\n
“Machetes destroy lives,” she said.<\/p>\n
Saurabh Anand became the latest high-profile victim of an alleged machete attack in Victoria on July 19.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old was allegedly attacked by a group of teens and had his phone stolen as he walked home from an Altona Meadows pharmacy.<\/p>\n
His left hand required surgery after it was almost severed, with four teens aged 14 to 15 charged.<\/p>\n
A fight between machete-wielding rival gang members at Melbourne’s Northland Shopping Centre in May also sent shoppers running for their lives.<\/p>\n
In response, the state government fast-tracked its machete sales ban.<\/p>\n
A compliance task force has since conducted 545 inspections online and in stores, on top of inspecting about 2400 market stalls in weekend operations.<\/p>\n
Another nine unannounced inspections have been carried out on stores across the Altona region since the alleged attack in the area.<\/p>\n
In total, five fines have been issued and the Consumer Affairs Victoria task force is weighing further action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
