Hi all
I had a battery leak and destroy my green laser pointer a few nights ago, I bought it before the new laws kicked in, and now cant seem to find a replacement anywhere except overseas via ebay... (not sure if they are still legal to be sold in stores in australia)...

Im just wondering if anyone knows of any restrictions regarding the strength and class of lasers which can still be imported under the new laws???

ive been told that only lasers of <1mW can be imported, but ive also been told that special permission is granted to amateur and professional astronomers...


Hope someone can clear it up for me...Any help much appreciated
