As Australia's largest group of Amateur Astronomers we are going to have to lobby the government to make sure Laser pointers are not "Banned"
I believe we have a good case to make that we have a lawful purpose for owning and using laser pointers.
Can we set up an online petition to present to the appropriate minister pre-emptivly.
It would be helpful to propose a solution to the issue of hoon's with laser pointers, trying to "Zap" aircraft.
Public education on the dangers, proper use of lasers, etc ....
Any Ideas how we can do this ?
I am happy to write the petition letter.
