On what way would this be stopping someone that is planning cause damage in this way from doing it regardless or registration of a drone. All you are doing with this is hurting hobbyist and small business operators.

2. Policy aim: CASA has exempted some drones from registration, because to register every drone would be complex, costly and potentially impose inconvenience on society, exceeding any safety benefit.

$100- $160 pa is ridiculous especially for people that are very small operators and only use it for a small amount of work every year

Registration and accreditation - considerations
