It praised the state’s “lockout” laws, which Baird’s
predecessor, Barry O’Farrell, had introduced in early
2014 in the wake of high-profile “one-punch” deaths.
Huh?
Googling around, a "one-punch" assault seems to be some Britishism for an assault on an unsuspecting person, where they're knocked out after a single hit, and occasionally die. Most the results are for the new mandatory minimum sentencing laws, but I can't seem to actually find the text of the law anywhere.
EDIT:
The result feels like a final victory in the battle
between Australia’s version of the cavaliers and the
roundheads, the larrikins and the wowsers.
Do we even speak the same language?
