Restricted areas in Oz for environmental purposes being used to suspend pilot licence

I have recently been told that a pilot had licence action taken for flying in the R766 “ environmental” Michaelmas Cay restricted area. It appears the pilot was identified by Airservices Australia radar and the controller reported it to CASA. No doubt more and more of these reports will be put in now that ADSB identifies the aircraft by registration.

Could it be true that there are going to be thousands of these restricted areas incorporated over every environmentally sensitive area of Australia? If there is one at Michaelmas Cay, why not everywhere else?

Does anyone know why the USA does not use restricted areas to protect nature?

Lead. Is this a correct usage of restricted areas?
