Wow 300 bucks..

The local police should be congratulating the kids for getting some exercise and staying out of trouble. But don't pretend this kind of idiocy isn't already Stateside as well.

let me post the inevitable Ignorant American Post (or as my friends in Sydney and London calls them, IAP): Australia has States?

That's an easy thing to google...

... and here's a really fun map of the world.

That is the line in the sand! If/when this happens in the US it is time to take up arms against a tyrannical government! Who's with me?

You're much too late to the party. Ask some of the folks here in some US locales what kind of fees their parks departments want from them just to put on a one day tournament.

City of Glen Eira demands $120 permit for throwing a frisbee

That seems easy enough to get around, throw a different brand.

Well, closing a public park to have a tournament and a group of people getting together to toss a frisbee around is a tad different.

Our parks don't close for a disc golf tournament.

I know it's not totally DG related but:

Well, good thing my discs aren't Frisbees.

A lot of the responses in this thread tell me that nearly nobody actually, y'know, READ the article.

You're probably not the only person. Random factoid: way back in the day, map makers used to put East at the top of the map. That's why Eastern Asia is called the "Orient." The reason I like this "corrective" map is that it is a graphic illustration of how unnecessary conventions shape our worldview.
