Firstly I take offence to even the suggestion of a "joke" included in this
message about the late, great Graham Pizzey and secondly I would like to raise
the to inaccuracy in the content of the message. (See the following)
Wink and colleagues (2004) and Wink and Sauer-Gürth (2004) studied three of the
four subspecies (haliaetus, carolinensis and cristatus) and proposed that each
be elevated to full species status based on differences in distribution,
morphology and genetics between the three taxa. This treatment was accepted by
Christidis and Boles (2008)
So the C&B checklist DOES NOT say that haliaetus and cristatus are conspecific.

Someone should tell Graham Pizzey then, or Peter Menkhorst. C&B checklist
says the haliaetus and cristatus are conspecific.

The correct name of the Osprey in Australia is now Eastern Osprey Pandion
cristatus.
