Be interesting to see the LAW on this as opposed to CAsA's "just-arse" culture and methods.
While many birds are airborne around Michealmas Cay...is this "restricted" zone for wildlife protection ?.. therefore the province of the EPA.? Or "safety" and CAsA want to be in on the action.
Lots of cays , lots of birds all over the Barrier reef, even at places with chopper pontoons ...just ask John Quadrio., and learn about the disgusting treatment he got by those disgusting employees of CAsA. Scandalous in the extreme.
But unfortunately all too common.
