Good news, does that mean no driving/practical test either then?

OK, so if WA and Victoria can do it, when will Queensland follow?

I cant believe they never advised me of that when I did test in December. I could have waited and would definitely have waited until after 1st Jan (and still been within 3 months of arriving) if I had known. Saved me buying the rules handbook and all the stress!

Husband (jammy bastard) will be well pleased when he hears, as he is back in UK and will be getting vic licence when he returns!
