This is ACT/NSW but you get the idea. url]https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6024181/one-state-but-two-different-sets-of-rules-for-p-platers-from-act-and-nsw/[/url]

In both NSW and the ACT, ACT P-platers

can go the posted speed limit even up to 110km/h
can have a carload of their friends under age 21 at anytime
can drive a high-powered car
can tow a trailer weighing less than 750kg
can use a hands-free mobile phone
will not necessarily lose their licence if caught speeding

Whereas NSW P-platers in NSW

cannot exceed 90km/h on their red Ps and 100km/h on their green Ps
cannot drive a high powered car cannot carry more than one under-21-year-old friend between 11pm and 5am
cannot tow trailers weighing more than 250kg
cannot use a mobile phone at all unless parked
will automatically lose their licence for speeding (if caught once on red Ps and twice on green Ps)

I agree with Trevor 57 comment, we talking about a learners permit not a licence holder.
