Very true.
I just did some quick googling and of the three Australian companies I looked at, only one mentioned the regulatory requirements and even then it was their own text somewhat incomplete and didn't provide links to the app or CASA pages. I guess putting that sort of thing up might discourage sales. |
Last year JB Hifi at Southland had a good but handwritten notice warning about flying drones near airports and some council parks. I might have missed it but its not there this year and I’m not braving christmas eve shopping hell to find out. |

The Australian 24 December 2018: New regulations for drone activity https://outline.com/kgqydy> |
nobody is talking about shooting at polair. The regs say no drones within 30 metres of people. So anyone doing so is breaking the law and by inference creating a safety hazard. Coincidentally that is about shotgun range. Removing the drone with a shotgun is therefore removing a safety hazard and preventing the commission of any further offence. A less drastic solution assuming line of sight flying at my place is video of the drone followed by video of the operator and vehicle plus a call to 000. We live in what is termed a holiday destination and we get a lot of “CUBS” - cashed up bogans with their toys, so a drone incursion is not improbable. We regularly call the police over illegal deer hunting, spotlight shooters, drunken speedsters,unregistered trail bikes etc. as do the neighbors. The police are most attentive at this time of year as we try and prevent them incinerating the neighbourhood, vandalising the infrastructure or killing each other in any number of ways such as throwing butane cartridges into a fire. |
Y shaped thingys with rubber bands and ball shaped mint lollies do a marvelous job as well as tasting nice.

You may be somewhat misguided Mr Sunfish, but do tell me please, is flying a drone illegally an indictable offence and does your usage of the shotgun fit with your understanding of section 462A of the Victorian Crimes act 1958? CRIMES ACT 1958 - SECT 462AUse of force to prevent the commission of an indictable offenceA person may use such force not disproportionate to the objective as he believes on reasonable grounds to be necessary to prevent the commission, continuance or completion of an indictable offence or to effect or assist in effecting the lawful arrest of a person committing or suspected of committing any offence. |
I know Sqwawk, but this is Pprune:8 |
Often as one takes a lunch break at Southbank one sees a drone tootling around over the Brisbane CBD.
I wonder who and why? Maybe it's rules for some and open slather for others! CC |

CC As an aside, they are illegal too in in many states. Although some states permit home made ones. I bought my kids one each in Bolivia (same ones the herders use to control their flocks on steep ground) as souvenirs. I’m not sure how customs would view it - depending on which state we entered or lived? |

Folks,
An almost insurmountable problem is the very large number of "drones" that arrive mail order from China or elsewhere ---- what percentage of total sales, I do not know, but in numbers it is in the tens, probably hundreds of thousands for quite advanced RPV --- how do I know --- because I was once associated with a company in China, one of who's divisions did huge mail order /E-Bay/Amazon/AliBaba business with Australia, and he was one of many. Getting the message across about rules and restrictions to most of his customers would be a thankless task. Tootle pip!! |
Honest yer Honour, I thought it was just another mosquito! |
