Are nunchucks legal in Western Australia?

They are 22. on the schedule 2 - of the controlled weapons list meaning that that are not illegal however you must attain permission to have them because without license to have them then they are illegal.

Weapons act 1999 section

7 . Controlled weapons

(1) Except as provided in section 10, a person who, without a lawful excuse, carries or possesses a controlled weapon commits an offence.

Penalty: $4 000 or imprisonment for one year.

(2) Except as provided in section 10, a person who has a lawful excuse to carry or possess a controlled weapon commits an offence if the person carries or possesses it in a manner that could reasonably be expected to cause someone ―

(a) to be injured or disabled; or

(b) to fear that someone will be injured or disabled.

Penalty: $4 000 or imprisonment for one year.

(3) In this section a lawful excuse to carry or possess a controlled weapon does not include the excuse that the weapon is carried or possessed for defence.

No not really.

I know of a few legitimate Martial Arts stores in Perth Western Australia that sell real wooden nunchucks with metal chains, but when I look up the laws on nunchucks it only shows the laws for other parts of Australia. So is it legal to own a pair of wooden nuchucks in Western Australia if you have a reason such as for legitimate Martial Arts practise or just as a display item. and if you always keep it in the house. Could you please include a website that clearly states these laws in your answer. Thanks.
