Not just that, but there’s two values. The one in the primary legislation, which is usually quite high (it’s what QCAT/courts can apply) and the one in the State Penalties Enforcement Regulation which is usually about 1/10th the amount, and applies to “on the spot” fines. Nothing I’ve seen says that the “on the spot” regime is required to apply in any or all cases, so the taxi drivers can still be heavily stung if QPS or TMR gets sick of issuing PINs/TINs (penalty infringement notices/transport infringement notices)
