report via ABC this morning that already a drone caused aborting of fire bombing tasks at Bruny Island yesterday​​​​​​. That means to me that there is a real possibility that I might be denied air support when I turn out to a bushfire in semi populated areas this summer thanks to these bogan pests.

My view is to ban the effing things except for professional licenced use. A mandatory strict liability offence with the onus of proof reversed for anyone even found to possess a drone let alone fly one. Ten years jail. We can do it with firearms we can do it with drones. furthermore no flying over private property without the owners written permission.

It should also be lawful for occupiers to destroy drones on sight.
