This somewhat sucks. :-(  Again, they're showing their financial interests 
ahead of everything else.  From what I've seen, it is the hobbyist groups 
such as Melb Wireless who understand the legal issues and who have bothered 
to do the research.  These groups also understand other issues such as 
security better than your average commercial punter (look at the number of 
unsecured _COMMERCIAL_ installations out there).  And some of us are also 
in industry, where our hobbyist learnt skills can only improve the quality 
of commercial installations.

sheesh, I hate political processes and Government policy/attitude in this 
country. :-(
