How can I legally defend myself?

Without going into too much detail, me and my family have been getting threats and stalked by a drug addict for a while now and the police aren’t helping beyond “if they do something there’s a report on them so there’ll be bigger consequences” which is great except i I feel like we’re all just waiting around to get stabbed 🤦‍♂️ They know roughly where I live and work, and I want to feel safe going to and from work. I know it’s illegal in Australia, or at least definitely in NSW, to have pepper spray or tasers or even those self defence sticks. Is there any everyday objects you guys can recommend that I can carry A) easily, and be able to store in my work locker B) without getting into legal trouble

Someone I know suggested a small can of spray deodorant but I’m not sure how affective it would be and I don’t want to waste time making my stalker smell good if I do end up attacked. Any ideas are appreciated.
