In Australia, demerit points for speeding vary depending on just how fast you were pushing your luck. Generally, for speeding less than 10 km/h over the limit, expect 1 to 2 demerit points. Push it further—say, 10 to 20 km/h over—and the points jump to 3 to 4. Anything beyond 20 km/h over? Brace yourself for 5 or more points, possibly accompanied by hefty fines and licence suspensions.
Each state has its own nuances, so checking local road authority guidelines or ServiceCentral would be wise before planning your next speed adventure.
