Application to Territory and Commonwealth motor vehicles
288 Application to Territory and Commonwealth motor vehicles
A requirement under this Act for an MAI policy does not apply in relation to a motor vehicle owned by—
the Territory or a territory authority; or
the Commonwealth or a Commonwealth authority.
However, the Territory, territory authority, Commonwealth or Commonwealth authority is, for a motor vehicle for which an MAI policy is not in force—
under the same liabilities as a licensed insurer would be under if the insurer had issued an MAI policy for the vehicle; and
under the same obligation as a licensed insurer would be under in relation to providing benefits, on a no-fault basis, to people who sustain personal injury caused by a motor accident if the insurer had issued an MAI policy for the vehicle; and
has the same rights as a licensed insurer would have if the insurer had issued an MAI policy for the vehicle.
