actually you are wrong
the QLD traffic laws(and this is not a word for word exact statement ok)
state that using a Mobile phone while driving is illegal and it then
states that the use of two way radios and CB is NOT included in that law
However you can be charged if it can be proved that by using a two
way/CB while driving caused you to drive dangerously or cause a crash
