Rejecting the claim that jetski operators behave responsibly,I can easily answer your "who says" question.
Here it`s The State Government. Jetskis are banned on Sydney Harbor.
I wish they were banned on southern waterways, and the Hawkesbury/Broken Bay system. There are examples of deliberate misconduct towards sailing and power vessels alike, even deliberate wash attacks on a yacht club and kids in dinghies. Demolishing the badly chosen nesting spot of the ospreys and drowning the chicks is the worst example.
Even a shark was moved to attack one in Queensland recently. Sharks generally get a bad rap, that one deserves a medal.
