I read recently the illegalities are:
1. Failing to indicate
2. Overtaking on the left
3. Passing too close to other traffic (not keeping a safe distance)
The fines and points add up to around $500 and 6-9 points.
The solution was to use the emergency shoulder, only one offence and only one or two points and less than $180 fine.
(It's also safer I reckon, except if you pick up a f***'n roofing nail that doesn't pop out til your ripping a 140 km/h corner and your tyre deflates in a poofteenth of a second! )
