Australia just has a rather boring list of prohibited and allowed items:

Department of Home Affairs Website

Home Affairs brings together Australia's federal law enforcement, national and transport security, criminal justice, emergency management, multicultural affairs, settlement services and immigration and border-related functions, working together to keep Australia safe.

What Can I Bring? All | Transportation Security Administration

www.tsa.gov www.tsa.gov

More Dad jokes in this thread than in the humour thread!

Re the topic. We have taken quite a few sewing machines in carry on to Fiji and have had no issues at all. Not quite as per the original question but still a data point.
