Australian kids aren’t going to get to experience the joys of being shot with a spud gun after a day out at the Show, thanks to the fun police who have banned a bunch of toys from show bags.
Agriculture shows across NSW have been given a list of prohibited items that can’t be sold in show bags by the Federal Council of Agricultural Societies.
Among the banned items are stink bombs, water balloons, potato guns, water pistols over 150mm, ‘lurid’ playing cards, fart gas, pressure pack snow and silly string.
NSW Agricultural Societies Council president Tim O’Brien has defended the list saying most were banned for “safety reasons”, The Daily Telegraph reports.
“(Potato guns) could shoot another kid in the eye,” Mr O’Brien said. “(Throw-down crackers) could scare a horse.”
The banned items will not apply to the Sydney Royal Easter Show but all show bags are being checked for unsafe toys.
