Iemma's words, as I remember, were that people who need them for work can apply for a permit. Perhaps some suitable lobbying (more on that later) could swing it to 'work or hobby' or 'work and other acceptable activities'. Even then, according to the research done by ngcles obtaining a permit will cost between $127 and $292, and that is without the possibility of renewal fees. Isn't it a bit stiff to have to pay up to twice the cost of the pointer to be able to use it?
