"In a separate incident, a 54-year-old man from Bulahdelah, was fined $4500, ordered to pay $567 in court costs, and had his boat forfeited after his case was heard by Taree Local Court on 27 July." Unquote

Thats a good result - not just the fine but confiscating the boat as well. Thats gotta hurt.
