I’ve just read this article and I found it very amusing.

"…throwing a rock at a vehicle - whether it hits something or not - will now become a criminal offence carrying a jail term of up to five years in NSW."

"…anyone who simply drops or throws a rock toward a moving vessel will be guilty the minute the missile leaves their hand."

"…it doesn’t stop at rocks and cars. …the new laws will cover any manner of object that is thrown at cars, bikes, animals, trains or boats. "

Note at the last paragraph above that it doesn’t state "people" in the list. So I guess throwing objects at people will only be covered by the existing law and not this new law.

"The prosecution will not even have to prove that the accused was aware their conduct risked the safety of any person, or that the object made contact."

So no more robbing a bank like in Prisonbreak just to get your ticket to visiting your brother in jail :). Simply throw a rock and you’ll be there.
