As I was still confused regarding the ban on laser pointers, I decided to call the Police Assistance Line and ask them (
http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/ ph: 131444)
After stating that I am an amateur astronomer and whether its permissable for me to use my green laser pointer at night (with proper care ofcourse), the lady on the phone couldn't answer my question and said she wasn't sure, so she forwarded my call to the local police station.
Again I stated my position, and whether from today onwards it was illegal or not to use my green laser pointer.The police officer said she doesn't know herself as they have not received any official warning, email, letters etc...
I told her fine then i shall continue to use it (appropriately) until you tell me to stop
Maybe you guys can call up your local police station and see whether you get same response or not? I'm going to continue using mine, cheers
