The Aust Govt includes any remotely piloted plane in its definition of a drone:
"Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) or Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly known as
drones"

It looks like "remote ID" is coming to Australia:

They have it in the US and RC'ers do not generally like it.

Interested people are invited to comment on the discussion paper.

"We invite feedback by Friday 28 July 2023, 17:00 AEST via
www.infrastructure.gov.au/have-your-say or

The discussion paper has been developed by the Department of
Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications
and the Arts, following targeted engagement with other government
agencies and industry"

hmm looks like I am going to have to read the thing...

The US is further down the remote id path than we are, this thread has some interesting ideas but there seems no solution in sight that would be acceptable to RC flyers .

It's a good reason Greg for anyone looking at flying model aircraft to join our club and fly at Mccoy field with all the proper CASA approvals under the MAAA (national association).

In the US it seems registered clubs (with registered flying fields) are hoping to be free from fairly onerous requirements, but that still remains a bit uncertain.

In another video, Bardwell points out that the US FAA has approved some club sites and other sites become approved zones for flying without remote id devices.
