Infringements Airspace

Infringements can obviously be issued for breaching restricted airspace, but what about State Government departments issuing whatever the hell they want for breaching airspace limitations around state parks, island, bird breeding etc...First I’ve heard of this.

Perhaps they need to include these warnings in the ERSA? Of the financial consequences for doing so, even 1ft into such airspace you will be issued with a 4 to 5 figure fine.

Where exactly do they get the alt info from? I mean you could probably win these fairly easy in court if you claim you breached such airspace ‘in the interests of safety’ or some bulldust, or even claiming said departments are sourcing alt info from third party apps.

I’m all for following the rules but having some large scale fine appear in the letterbox for breaching bird breeding zones, by accident, by 50ft? Really?
