As a matter of law, the Guide is not part of the Road Rules.

The following document entitled “Road Rules—Victoria” is published by the Roads
Corporation (“VicRoads”) to enable the contents to be adopted as law in Victoria.

The way that I read it these are not laws YET!

Here's a stupid Vic roads rule,

Television receivers and visual display units in motor vehicles
(1) A driver must not drive a motor vehicle that has a television receiver or visual
display unit in or on the vehicle operating while the vehicle is moving, or is
stationary but not parked, if any part of the image on the screen—
(a) is visible to the driver from the normal driving position; or
(b) is likely to distract another driver.
Penalty: 2 penalty units.

Would a center console unit with a clock or radio station displayed, be in breach of the "law"?

that is not just a state law check the australian design rules and you will fin a car does not comply fi the video display unit is visible to the driver unless it is for navigation as in a gps or for vehicle operation as in the display unit on a BA falcon a clock or radio is only a simple LCD and not subject to this law
