Here's an example with GF(8) instead of GF(5):

sage: F = GF(*8*)

sage: P1F = ProjectiveSpace(*1*,F)

sage: P1Flist = P1F.rational_points()

sage: G = PSL(*2*,F)

sage: Gaction = *lambda* x: P1Flist[g(P1Flist.index(x)+*1*)+*1*]

sage: a = P1F.rational_points()[*2*]

sage: Gaction(a)

(1 : 0)

sage: a = P1F.rational_points()[*3*]

sage: Gaction(a)

(z3 + 1 : 1)

This works because G is a subgroup of a symmetric group.
