Queensland minister for sport is going to ban the (insert car company name
here) Airship from major sporting events.
Does anyone have an idea as to what mechanism he can use to prevent an
aircraft from flying at specific times in specific areas?
I always believed that civil airspace could only be controlled federally.
If they're successful, a dangerous precedent will be set.
Are pilots now going to have to comply with state, possibly local, and
federal legislation?
No wonder we're over governed when each layer of government wants to
excercise power over the same bit of a (once) free, non commercial resource.
Keep the sky free and non commercial - tell Beattie to get stuffed.

This beggars belief. It's a *commercial* issue. WTF business is
it of the nanny Beattie government?

Probably none.
"A Civil Aviation Safety Authority spokesman said federal
legislation related to airspace safety only".

Well, I don't see why the Holden airship should be banned but it's a bit
hard to see how permitting a floating advertising hoarding would help
keep the sky NON-commercial.
Please explain? (obs., attr. P Hanson, 1998).

While it is an airship it also is advertising which is controlled according
to various laws from different levels of government. Maybe it could be as
simple as stating the blimp does not have the correct type of advertising
permit?
Where is our resident lawyer who also is sometimes seen over on aus.rail??

He cannot, unless our Constitution is changed.

Many reasons have been put forward...A flying camera platform robbing
those who have paid for exclusive broadcasting rights. The possibility
of another car manufacturer paying dearly for rights within the venue,
having his thunder stolen by the non contributing blimp above.
Prospective vital sponsors reluctant to sign up because of the lack of
exclusivity. Noise from the engines. The shadow may affect the
players judgement at a critical moment of play....Bla Bla Bla!

Maybe it's a matter of terminology, but there is or at least there was
a difference between buzzing and overflying at 1500ft. During my time
the term buzzing applied when unnecessarily flying over or in close
proximity to something or someone on the ground at very low altitude.
Maybe the "puffed up minister" foresaw the risk of buzzing helos
finishing up on top of the govenor and the inmates! Sadly a highly
likely conclusion to all "buzzing" activities as aviation history will
attest.
