Can a group of drunken idiots decide to form a astronomy club so that they can use lasers without doing any actual astronomy?

Given that the NSW gov seems to have applied common sense in the spirit of the legislation, one would seriously doubt that a laser pointer used responsibly and demonstrably for the pursuit of astronomy would see a user up on charges.
On the other hand, being a member of an astronomical society shouldn't see idiots using them irresponsibly immune to charges or confiscation.
I only wish the Victorian gov was as sensible.
