Is emergency medical treatment free in Oz?
If so there's enough venemous spiders, snakes, sea creatures to choose from and (with careful handling of selected critter) get one of those to bite the offending nad..
Wait a while (but well before death likely), getfree emergency hospital treatment & plead with medics to lop off the bitten nad in the process. as it's beyond saving
Tiggity "Is emergency medical treatment free in Oz?"
All hospital treatment in Oz is free. Some conditions: have to be a resident of Oz (so visitors not included); there might be a waiting list if not urgent, so can be a problem for itinerant workers (which this guy might be) as you are on the list at a specific hospital.
Unlike the yanks, Oz doesn't have an "everyone including inner-city-idiots" gets as many guns as they want.
In Oz, it's a 0 gun per person policy, unless you're a farmer and need to shoot roos (or other livestock threatening things).
Btw - We don't have many fake "farmers", using that as an excuse for a piece to be cool. Just saying.

Not quite. There are restrictions on the type*, calibre, capacity and number of firearms you can own here, while the supply, storage and use of both weapons and ammunition are are heavily controlled, but obtaining the necessary permits isn't particularly onerous for most people. You do have to have a clean past, have a "genuine reason" (e.g. hunting or target shooting) and demonstrate that you can use and store them responsibly. I'm not a shooter so there are probably gaps in that description so don't take it as read. Each of the states has its own legislation but here is the NSW act, for reference.
Most of us, however, don't see the need to own one.
I totally agree with you. In a civilized area of the world, under a proper ozone layer-protected zone, without 99 different venomous species trying to kill you, it wouldn't happen.
But this is Australia.
Let me rephrase that :
THIS. IS. AUSTRALIAAAAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!

I remember seeing on a mates farm many years ago a device like pliers with 4 tabs, when a powerful small rubber band was put over the tabs and the handles squeezed the 4 tabs moved apart so that the band could be put over a sheeps tail; the band would cut off the blood supply to the tail which would drop off on it's own, (sheeps tails are/were removed for hygeine reasons).
Perhaps this device could have been used as a knackered nad removal device on a DIY basis.
The same device was also used to turn young rams into wethers.
When it's use was being described by one of my teachers at the agricultural-based school I attended, all the blokes in class collectively winced, hands covered genitals, and knees were turned inwards in an involuntary protective move.
If you chop them off quick and sew up the wound, the lamb screams for a few minutes, then runs away as if nothing happened. If you stick a rubber band around them, the lambs screams for a couple of days.
Still I wouldn't want my rocky mountain oysters disconnected in a motel room by anyone.
That's what I was thinking when I read the list of charges.
"without consent or authority”"
Well, he certainly had consent. As for "authority", that depends on which definition of authority they are using. He certainly was given the authority by the recipient of the "operation".
You do raise an interesting point as to exactly what constitutes surgery though.
Maybe someone here knows but I was having a conversation with a mate of mine some time ago about "non-surgical vasectomy" and how it is done.The best answer we could think of is that it is the application of a very tight elastic band.
Still, to echo an earlier comment, you can't talk about this amongst blokes without them squirming in their seats.
The old man told us a story about a feral cat on the farm when he was a kid.
Apparently the shearers got a bit bored and decided to cut it's nuts off with a razor blade, mainly because male cats are a lot more docile after they lose the boys.
Apparently - I am assuming after it left a bucket load of deep gouges in a few of them - it nicked off and didn't come back for a week.
My favourite story he told was about my grandmother - even mum says she had an awesome sense of humour - who was getting a bit fed up with a dog that was killing the chickens, so one day she got some sandpaper and petrol and decided to call the dog over for a belly rub.
Whilst applying said belly rub, she roughed up his nuts with the sandpaper and dropped the petrol on them.
Now picture a dog running for it's life across a field and intermittently dropping both hind legs, so his nuts scrape through the dirt, then alternating between lifting both legs and running for the horizon and then dropping them again.
A man who coincidentally had multiple firearms and drugs selflessly assisted a "volunteer" who couldn't afford to seek treatment in the free (as in beer) public hospital system but instead opted for a motel room (whose reputation for cleanliness is beaten only by a CPU fab I'm sure).
It smells quite strongly like a message was sent. That message was heard, so they are chasing him via that technically that even with consent, that procedure was illegally performed.
