How are demerit points fair?

I'm a kiwi (Yes it's true!!) but I have noticed a major difference in the way the states here in Ausi deal with speeding drivers. Now currently I'm living in Sydney - NSW and if you get caught by a camera then quite frankly you deserve it. I'm assuming the camera is actually working correctly!!! but thats another topic - after all you get 3 signs the size of a small house warning you that there is a camera ahead, and if you can't see that then really you shouldn't be driving.

Yet in Vic there are no signs and no warning (that I am aware of) so really there are problems here with the way the law is applied. After all it should be contant accross all states. After all the demerit point system is the same so why is the detection of speeding drives different in each state.

To me this simply means that some states are harder done by than others. My question is - why the hell is this?????
