The legislation is currently being ammended for the keeping of Native Reptiles, which includes which species of mainland herp's will be allowed to be kept.....This is a very long process and has been underway for a few years that i know of.......
According to the Permit officer i spoke with, once the legislation has been ammended, there will be a system in place just like all other states and territories, only thing is the list of reptiles will be restricted more than any other current system......meaning....not many species permitted......
Get in touch with the permit officer and have a chat to him, see what the latest deadline is......i'm sure it cannot be far off now

Lizardboi if by "free handling" you mean holding Elapids in the same manner as you would pythons then that's an individuals choice.
Welding gloves and handling Elapids is not a good idea even if tailing, IMO. And not sound handling advice to give out on a public forum.
