He's commited an aviation related offence, and he's demonstrably an inappropriate person to hold an ASIC. I'd say he can kiss his aviation career goodbye
Unless pointing a laser is classified as politically motivated violence then I'd put money on this guy being able to hold an asic card / airline job.
Unfortunately, I've met asic card carrying airline pilots that have been convicted of worse.

Strength of the ASIC
'Cocaine gang' had airport security clearance
'Cocaine gang' had airport security clearance
Three of the men arrested had been granted Aviation Security Identification Cards by the federal Transport Department, allowing them to freely access sensitive areas of the airport and bypass customs checks. Of those, two of the men had previous criminal convictions and at least one was the subject of significant police criminal intelligence.

Well.......
If what I read in the papers, Rotorheads and Bladeslapper are true........
Apparently in NSW you can break into a hangar, steal a helicopter, hide it, fly it without rego or maint. release, hand yourself into the cops...go to court, plead guilty, get sentenced to 2yrs periodic imprisonment and still keep your ASIC, your CPL (H) and (if the rumours are correct) even get your Instructor (H) rating......
The guy with the Laser is laughing.......
Just what is it that the CASA does? They certainly don't appear to be the adminstrators / enforcers of the regulations with regards to the above mentioned history making event for this country as far as aviation security is concerned, that's for sure....

My immediate thought was that $800 is just a slap on the wrist, but I suppose you'd have to run a red light while talking on the mobile and not wearing your seatbelt to surpass that fine (but for doing those three together you'd probably end up with a suspended driver licence as well).
One certainly hopes that the lad has learned his lesson. Very little deterrent to others, though, particularly since I heard about the sentence on PPRuNe
