That's wrong, trev.

130 - Keeping to the left on a multi-lane road

Keeping left
When driving on any multi-lane road with a speed limit over 80km/h, you must keep out of the right lane unless:

you are overtaking or turning right, or
all lanes are congested.
If the right lane is a transit lane, this rule applies to the lane immediately to the left of the transit lane.

From the vicroads website here https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/safe...rules/freeways

Altho I'm not quite sure why they have this detail under the heading 'freeways' when it applies to any multi-lane roads over 80. Plenty of roads over 80 that aren't freeway.
