People may think that's not a big deal but in Victoria there's no legislation protecting you from discrimination from employers over having a current criminal conviction

The only discrimination protection you have is for spent convictions and only since December 2021, so if anyone ever cops the excessive speed charge, go contest it in court with legal representation and try score no conviction recorded from the magistrate which will give you discrimination protection with employers in the form of the spent convictions act 2021.

Even upon appeal, you may escape the coviction and the record if the judge dismisses it, however it is so sad to see them sit there and expain the suspension still stands as it is outside their power. basically a puppet in that regard.
