You should not have let them drive the car when you were out
of the country. Major no-no.

If they are mates then they should admit to it.

You might get out of it if you can prove via pass****t, travel
records, and the like it was not you.

The State Debt Recovery folk can actually be quite
understanding.

Fax your pass****t and travel details to them to prove
you were not the driver. Give both names of the alleged
driver(s) to them as well.
