The requirements also say that you need to be more than 5km from an aerodrome and not operate above 400ft in controlled airspace.
The issue here is not the responsible drone operators who know and respect the rules, but rather the I'll-grab-it-off-Ebay-and-give-it-a-go crowd. The same bogans who bought lasers last year and thought it would be fun to point them at aircraft.
I have personally seen one being operated above 400 feet (by my estimate) on a beach*; how do I know - because the helicopters going past at 500 feet seemed to be at the same level or lower.
*not in Australia BTW.
