I have taken an interest in this laser banning saga and tomorrow will be chatting about it on radio (I do some various slots on a community radio station)
So to make sure I know what I am talking about, I spoke to Damien Kelly from Minister Campbells office.
He told me that the red laser pointers are not banned and its only the green ones that are as "they leave a trail"
I was not aware that the red ones were not banned as Morris Iemma had not made that distinction. Well,,not that I could find anyway.
Was anyone else aware of this ???
I assumed (correct me if I am wrong) that most teachers used the red pointers ?? So shouldn't affect them at all.
Builders, Astromoners and teachers etc who use the green ones will have to have a permit for high powered ones, or show just cause as to why they are carrying a lower powered one in public (i.e. going from one building site to another or one Uni to another) and quite frankly I feel that is fair enough.
