Al, I did not see the aircraft, I heard it on the radio and it appeared to be operating as a powered aircraft
receiving and responding to heading vectors and altitude assignments just like anyone else as it mixed it with B737, DHC8 etc. Like you I am not a lawyer - but it did appear unusual and hence why I asked the initial question :-) Wallabies are doing well.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Motor Glider 911 Hi, I'm no lawyer, but what's the problem? If it's a motorglider, and operating with the engine off, surely using "glider" as a prefix is far more useful for everyone else? As long as the pilot has a PPL, and has a valid clearance, I thought it'd be A-OK.
