sorry for being lazy but I've only read the last page, and now im gonna give my input of everything (perhaps it has been mentioned, and im sure I'll correct this post when i read some more).
but if i lived australia, i would NEVER get a permit, first off i wouldnt wanna pay anymore for something i love so much, just to own a laser.
second, i dont want them to know who i am and know the fact that i have lasers, that if anything goes wrong they can and will go to me. i could get blamed for something i didnt even do.
