I pretty sure the $350 and 6 points for 30 km/h ova speed limit are standard fine in queensland.
You must have been doing well over 131 then. The speed you are fined for is after the allowance for error has been removed. In VIC it's 3 kph (used to be 10% + 3). I assume it varies from state to state but if the old VIC rule applied your actual speed would have been around 147 kph. Assuming you have an error on your speedo (mine is a constant +4 according to the GPS system), your speedo would have read around 150 kph.
