Just read an interesting article in The Sunday Telegraph,stating"Thousands of motorists wiill be forced to pay the state government as much as $1000 each to change their car suspensions following a crackdown on vehicle modifications.
From August 1,motorists will be prohibited from raising or lowering the height of vehicles unless the alterations are approved by licensed RTA engineers at a cost of up to $1000.
Until now, it has been legal to raise or lower a vehicle by 5cm without RTA approval or by 15cm with approval.
Failure to comply will incur fines up to $7000.
The state government claims the changes are needed to stamp out car hoons & will save lives."
What next? I suppose the government could place a tax on all 4wd's with an ExplorOz wheel cover.

Hiya warfer 69, sorry to hear you have such a low opinion
about us grey nomads.
Most of us are honest people who leave the hooning & the knocking "orrrffof anything" to others! Best wishes & cheers.
