Sorry, your information is incorrect - see s79B of the TRANSPORT OPERATIONS (ROAD USE MANAGEMENT) ACT 1995(QLD) :
(1) This section applies if a person is--
(a) charged under section 79(1) with an offence committed while under the influence of liquor or a drug; ..................
(2) If the person holds a Queensland driver licence, the person's Queensland driver licence is suspended.
(3) If the person's authority to drive on a Queensland road is under a non-Queensland driver licence, the person's authority under the licence to drive on a Queensland road is suspended.
(4) If the person does not hold a driver licence, the person is disqualified from obtaining or holding a Queensland driver licence.
(5) The
suspension or disqualification under subsection (2), (3) or (4) starts when the person is charged and ends--
(a) for a
suspension of a Queensland driver licence in relation to which a court may make a section 79E order, when the first of the following happens--
(i) a replacement licence is issued to the person under section 79F;
(ii) the charge is dealt with by a court or is withdrawn or otherwise discontinued; or
(b) in any other case, when the charge is dealt with by a court or is withdrawn or otherwise discontinued.
Having said that I now retract my derogatory statement about the wonderful state of Queensland!!! It seems they are only backward during the summer months!!!
