It'll all be dressed up in a smart shade of green, ($ and eco credentials), and only reactionary old white men could possibly take on that straw man.
You must mean the Uber model. As in we are special so the law doesn't apply to us. Like Uber there would be every new arrival and extended family hiring a drone and heading of to work as a drone ag operator. Training courtesy of youtube and Bunnings gardening tips. Got to beat those reactionary old white men.
