Laser sight is legal (in QLD) IF you have a valid/current firearms license - cost for initial license is around $300 - the laser cannot be purchased without the license - AND you add it onto your license (currently $38.34 in QLD per application or something) AND you have a legitimate requirement for it (which is submitted at the point of application for permit - they are VERY stringent in what is acceptable use - I said Astronomical use, which they approved).
So, no, it's NOT as simple as you think.
The 5mW green one I have (ex-pistol, on license), as Peter says, is more than adequate to illuminate atmospheric particles for you to point at something in the sky.
