Latest info from ABC about CASA and prosecution for illegal drone activity
Drone users brazenly breaking laws as burden of proof makes prosecution difficult - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
FWIW Cheers

burden of proof for evidence...jeez CASA wont like that. Gotta have the proof !! Courts are a bugger that way .

I was browsing the DJI website and considering buying a drone, when one of their galleries displays terrific photos of Australia Beaches. The photographer stated that often he flew 1.5km away (so much for line of sight), and another terrific shot displayed the fine Caloundra waterfront - probably only a mile from Caloundra Airfield !!
Whilst I know the law, I bet many other customers will try to replicate such actions.

CASA needs to do a nationwide ongoing mainstream media campaign - on television, newsprint and online advertising the basic does and don’ts with regards to drones. Most people who get drones have absolutely no idea what potential damage even a very small drone can do. The retailers couldn’t care less, all they want is the sales.
Most DJI drones record all the flight data through what ever app the user elects to us, CASA should have the authority to gather that data through a CAR 301 demand should they elect to take someone to task. The data recorded is extensive and certainly enough to prove if the drone was being flown in a no fly zone.

Here's a new idea. Drones launched from a cargo plane:
China to Expand Military Reach with a Fleet of the World?s Largest Planes - Defense One
Hmmm... Imagine: Payload 250,000 kg. Short range smart human heat seeking bomb drone 1kg. Yer got 5,000 troops on the battle field and an An-225 drone drop ship turns up nearby. What's that, 25 drones per soldier...
Edit: ah forgot, obviously the launch racks would eat into payload.
