I expect other states will follow suit on this one soon.

Did you look here??? ESC vehicle status : VicRoads

All LR vehicles comply except for defenders, which will (I imagine) be granted an exemption, along with the nissan patrol etc...

Btw - there has already been a thread on this issue.

EDIT - I cannot see how the leaf sprung 7X series cruisers can be certified???

The Defender is classed as a commercial vehicle so it's expempt from certain regulations (like child restraint points).

The list is only of MA, MB, MC cat. vehicles. By "Land Cruiser - all", I assume they're referring only to MC cat. LCs (ie all of the 200 range).

The 7X series certainly don't comply but I think they're under cat NA (same as the Defender which is why it isnt listed).

I thought "FJ landcruiser" down the bottom meant the 7X series - however google reveals it to be the ugly retro style thing.

This must mean that defenders and 7X cruisers are classified as commercial vehicles???

I would say so. By 7X I assume you mean 76, 78 and 79 series.
