Up here in Qld, the ruling on lasers, as passed on from the police minister to the president of our astro society, is that although the laser is a potential weapon, so is a rock or a steak knife. Therefore, carrying a laser in public is ok as long as you have a fair reason. I believe there was not going to be a requirement to be a member of an astro society, but I may be wrong there. Also not sure re any permit.
Someone mentioned seeing a news article re some people who had been detained for using lasers vs aircraft, and mentioned that the lasers in question appeared to be much larger than those used by astronomers.
