You can buy them but you can't get the ones with the arm brace attached. As far as I know they are illegal.
But in saying what illegal and what's not its a matter of who sees you using it. As far as I'm concerned it would be illegal to use it in the bay or any waters for that fact but if I saw you or anyone else using one in a harmless way such as to get rid of pesky birds and distract them by throwing half a pillie into the water. There is no way I would say anything and most fishos wouldnt either. Just don't expect the actual law enforcers to take it the same way.

You can buy sling shots in camping stores and even some sports stores.

I had a braced one when I was a kid (Falcon ??) - It was lethal when firing ball bearings being able tow go through a 20lt kero tin & dent the other side. The local rabbits copped a flogging - They were the days

Catching the beggar is the hard part and I know that crabs like them, it's not that I don't like cats, it their owners don't want to train them because they believe in that great urban myth that cats can not be trained. I have owned cats and they can be trained, mine would not even leave the yard and came when called, look at the number of people who own cats who never leave the house, if they weren't trained the house would be a mess.

Don't mind the parrots, so long as they dont crapp on the clothes line.
