Where have all the beach-goers gone?

A couple of months ago, I came across this news item on a proposed ban on photography on the famous Bondi Beach in Australia. I wonder what the outcome of the proposed ban has become. According to this article, sensible parents will not support the ban. Personally, I think the ban, if enforced, will mean a great loss to photographers as the Beach provides an abundance of good photographic opportunities. I was fortunate to be able to enjoy taking great pictures there on my visit in 2003. It’s just a pity that I didn’t have a good DSLR with me then!
