Police said the clash in Queensland “eventuated over a cat” and left two people with severe cuts from a machete.
"It was one house versus two houses,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Gregg Davey.
“It was an incident that boiled over… One group came armed with machetes, hammers and a steering wheel lock. It's such a basic neighbourly dispute. There are other avenues to sort these things out."Crikey! Thank god we don't have that sort of thing here.
Oh. Wait.

Neighbour's cats are a wonderful treat; almost the same as chicken after a three hour boiling.
Looking at the story, it seems that the cat has beaten a hasty retreat from this dysfunctional set up because it's not mentioned again.
Bloody criminal classes.
If only we could pack them off... you know, like a big island somewhere
If I was the police I'd just let them get on with it. Less miscreants for the future.
Is 'eventuated' even a word? I can find eventuate, eventually and even eventuality, but not eventuate. Perhaps it's word only used by beaucracratic organisations which don't like using the word 'resulted'? On the other hand, the Australians seem bent on introducing new words into the language every day. perhaps this one of them?
Over to you Melv and Noggy!

Police 'English' appears to be alive and well, Penise.
Hello Melv, I thought that my comments would have eventuated a response from you. I trust you're using crayons to write your messages unless you are now allowed to have access to sharp implements! Don't even think of drawing them against those blue lines in your wrist. You have? Oh dear!

I always saw you as an old cat-boiler Melvin!
At least these Aussies were more gainfully employed than the best of their reporters and weren't hoaxing the Queen. I recommend we invite some of these colonials over for a thrashing at cricket. In the spirit of swords to ploughshares their machetes could be hammered out into metal bats (Lillee has the design).
