Ahhhh, the Australian state of New South Wales court. There's our answer. It's generally difficult to understand their judgements, so this case differs little to most of their others.
The fact is that here was a pilot flying in complete contravention of a law regarding minimum safe height and he paid the ultimate price. It is sad that there will be others who will repeat this tragic event. It would however be better if the next one to do it does it on his/her own though.
