Government lays out new vehicle laws

The changes would give the responsible government minister the power to order mandatory safety recalls for unsafe vehicles, while also providing severe penalties for breaches of the legislation, such as selling vehicles before compulsory safety recall repairs have been made.

The legislation rules out so-called parallel imports – the biggest fear of the established new-vehicle motor industry – but improves pathways for importing specialist and enthusiast vehicles, including performance, low-emissions and mobility access vehicles.

These enthusiast vehicles include left-hand-drive supercars unavailable in right-hand drive. However, they will still need to be converted to right-hand drive before they can be registered for road use.

So, keep it LHD for shows and track use only. Gotcha.

Here is the current legislation for reference.
