But, luckily I've built myself this 4-stroke chainsaw for campfires.
Existing equipment ok but anything left on shelves beyond next year has to be destroyed or exported back overseas , does not at this stage include chainsaws but that can change at ministers discretion .
Love your new saw .

That's crazy having to destroy or re-export equipment back overseas. Such a government mindset where money is not a problem. Hopefully they have the sense to implement the ban on imports but let the existing stock to be sold off.
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

No sales after 1st of July 2019 , trying to find out exactly what's covered but I know outboards and whipper snippers and mowers are going to be banned from that date .
Has come about after a push and lobbying from the industry itself mainly marine side of it .

What brand were your LED globes ? The local truck parts mob sell Speaker & Narva branded LED h4 'globes' . Bit over $200 a pair from memory , that L/H globe is an absolute prick to change so taking the whole light out is the go 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Don't drop and lose the little screws as you can only buy them in packs of 10 and they are $2.65 each screw!

I can't see it happening for chainsaws as there is no viable replacement. Even if a 4 stroke saw came on the market it won't have the grunt. Electric and hydraulic units are not practical for most comparative tasks either.

Probably not as bad as first thought , they are mainly targeting outboards but ultimately all two stroke powered equipment has to comply with new emission standards , never seen a four stroke chainsaw .

So they're going to put EGR and DPF systems on 2 strokes now lol.
