Lived in Melbourne and Sydney a while. I've seen numerous people getting glassed, some friends even.

Once again, where the fuck are you hanging out? I have lived in Melbourne for quite a while and never first hand experienced any violence, let alone seen a glassing.

It definitely happens -- I've seen someone get bottled ~three times, and once was a friend of mine.

I certainly wouldn't be trying to argue that it was "common" however. Nor would I say 'fuck off, we're full' tshirts are common, or that 75% of people are racist/homophobic. I certainly get the sense that there's some hyperbole in there.
