I'm not going to be thanking you, snowyskiesau, for bypassing my intent by naming one of the sites.
You have proven, however, how easy it can be to find information on the internet. There are plenty of references around regarding the ban of the "Autotrend sun filter" for cars, for example, including
Customs (Prohibited Imports) Amendment Regulations 1999 (No. 8) and the
Product Safety Policy Review, but I can't find a mention of solar/sun filters for eyepieces and telescopes except for the apparently-rejected/revoked piece of the
NSW Fair Trading Act, 1987 you found via AustLII.
I've been searching for legislation banning solar/sun eyepiece filters for several days now, using regular search engines as well as the more-specialized ones like
AustLII and
FRLII. If this legislation exists it doesn't want to be found. At the moment I'm believing that it doesn't exist - please, somebody, prove me wrong!
