It is compulsory to wear a crash helmet in all Australian States. Helmets must comply with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS1698. IN Queensland (the State I live in) from 1 February 2015 it will also be legal to wear a helmet that complies with ECE 22.05. Good. It increases the range of available helmets.
If, however, I ride 240 or so kilometres south and cross the border into New South Wales wearing a ECE 22.05 approved helmet that does not comply with AS/NZS1698, I will be breaking the law of NSW.
Brilliant.
