How about in other states ?
Do you still have to show that you are a member of an Astronomy club to have one (IE: a legitimate reason for using one)
In QLD < 1 mw not restricted, < 10mw legal for firearm licence holders and < 20mw for profesional use and for members of a registered astonomical club / association for astronomy use. The max fine in QLD is 100 penalty points, which is $1000 + victims of crime levy, so a $35 a year club membership is good insurance if you want to use one in a public place.
