I do wonder if this 'rule of thumb' is a thing or if it is yet another example of 'Chinese whispers' (are we allowed to say that any more?) which the bush lawyers have got a hold of and in true bush lawyer style, missed the point, missed the meaning and above all missed the truth of the matter.
If this is, in fact, a real 'ruling' then the ACMA must have published it somewhere - the field officers need to base their enforcement and guidance in fact, not gut feel.
I mean "not touchable" is pretty meaningless. How did you put it up without touching it? How could someone touch it, if it is in a private yard that is enclosed? What if they came into your backyard, without your knowledge, with a ladder, then climbed the ladder and touched the wire? As I said it is too vague and too meaningless.
