In Victoria it's pure revenue raising. They are very well hidden and they have a fleet of unmarked cars with cameras positioned on the front like spot lights.
I just got done for travelling at 64 Km/hr in a 60Km/ hr zone. $176 fine and one demerit point. The road was a wide sweeping curve with good visibility, very little traffic and wide grass verges either side in a purely industrial area. The police camera car was the only car parked at the side of the road. I saw the cameras on the way back and knew it had probably got me in the opposite direction. I don't feel I was driving in a way that put anybody at any risk.
