In Tasmania, red light camera fines are reviewed by Tasmania Police. You apply for the fine to be withdrawn, within 28 days of the issue date, explaining why it should be withdrawn (for example the light was amber when you entered, or you were already across the stop line) and attaching any evidence. It’s free to ask.
