    Thats exactly why they cant bring it in it cant pass ADR due to its GMV being slightly under which puts it in the category of needing airbags. Was told this by the guy who Runs the product line in Australia. If you dont believe me I will give you his email and you can ask him yourself

    from the ACRS

    Airbags in Australian cars are a supplementary restraint and are most effective when seat belts are worn, to further mitigate the injury consequences of serious crashes. This is in direct contrast to the US situation where air bags were first introduced as one form of 'passive' restraint system to help reduce the effects of low wearing rates and generally (by comparison with Australia) much less effective seat belt wearing laws.
    Air bags in Australian cars are not mandatory. The Australian Design Rule that deals with frontal occupant protection requires only that manufacturers achieve given safety standards in relation to head, chest and upper leg injury. The rule does not specify the means whereby the standard is to be met. All new vehicles sold in Australia meet the standard even if air bags are not fitted.
    thats as current as i can find atmo.
    still looking for amendments.

    cheers phil
