Banks in Oz

I was chatting to a teller in the bank here this morning and mentioned to her that when I joined the staff of NatWest bank in 1979, I was able to smoke cigarettes whilst in the office.  
She mentioned that when she joined a bank in 1978 in an Oz country town, the bank manager had a gun for 'security' and had to go on training courses annually to ensure he was still able to use it.  
Smoking in the office suddenly seemed awfully tame.
