It doesn't seem to matter these days what you do wrong or which rules that you break either RAAus or GA the punishment seems to just come from what the magistrate is thinking about at the time, there is rarely any logic in the decision on the face of it. Best off heading to court on a Friday arvo when he is thinking about his upcoming golf weekend. It would be interesting to find out if the $17k is a breakdown of CASA demerit points and their $110 values.
