MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (6.47): I move amendment No 12 circulated in my name which inserts a proposed new clause 75A [see schedule 3 at page 2790].
This amendment will allow the firearms registrar to make a declaration about the possession or use of laser pointers prohibited in the relevant schedule. The amendments contemplate that people in certain professional, technical or scientific classes will be excluded from the offence. This will ensure that individuals with genuine reasons, such as astronomers, including amateur astronomers, academics and surveyors, can continue to use these items without the requirement for a permit to possess and use the devices. This provision will commence immediately following notification to allow for a declaration to be made.
