So I now have a laser pointer, 532nm < 1mW. Even at this "low" power it's ability to point out a star is most impressive. Although it was a warm night with some humidity last night, so it will be intereresting to see how well it performs on a cold clear winter's night.

The
ASSA Guidelines for Lasers quotes from SA legislation. Reading that literally suggests the legislation ignores lasers <1mW (see "Clause 10A of Schedule 2" on last page). This implies simple possession of a laser <1mW by anyone is not an offence in SA.
So is this a point of difference between the law in NSW vs SA?
