How old do you have to be to drive a car in Australia?

Answer 1

Minimum driving age: New South Wales - 17 yrs, South Australia - 16 yrs, Victoria - 16 yrs, Queensland - 17 yrs, Northern Territory - 17 yrs, Tasmania - 17 yrs, Western Australia - 17 yrs. The minimum driving age in New Zealand is 15 yrs.

I know for sure that NSW's driving age is 16, and you forgot the ACT (Australian Capital Territory, where I live- but it's never included in anything because it's a tiny territory... even though it's the capital of Australia) where the Legal driving age is 15 and 9 months. (as of March 2010)

I'm not sure if the answers are correct for the other states and territory though.
