Clearly you are out of your depth arguing that one.
If he was cloud surfing at 1500 feet you could argue he is now out of the range of any legitimate IFR aircraft either inbound to learmonth or Exmouth.
But it is quite clear he was not. When I posted yesterday I looked at the 18VOR and the DME/gps arrival plates. They give plenty of scope to whack these guys below 3000 even, so despite rules and regs, this is a dumb place to do what he is doing.
My recent trip around OZ surprised the heck out of me at the traffic levels over there. The Aluminium to Air ratio is smaller than I thought
