What should you do if you see this? I couldn't find the person flying it but they obviously need a good smack in the head.
There is a reporting form on the CASA website. You need to be able to tell them who was flying it and or provide a YouTube link of you filming them or what they were filming (if possible) There are other evidence related questions on there.

A conviction is almost impossible if you can't give enough info to definitively identify the "pilot."

I've used it once when it was well and truly warranted. I've got a small drone for fun and have probably come close to breaking a rule but this guy broke 4 all at once.
