Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in National Transport Commission (Road Transport Legislation – Driver Licensing) Regulations 2006.
(1) The driver licensing authority must not issue a driver licence to a person unless it is satisfied that: (a) the person is eligible to be issued with the driver licence; and (b) if the person is the holder of an Australian driver licence or a licence to drive a motor vehicle in a foreign country that licence has been surrendered; in accordance with the Supporting Principles.

Note: Subprinciple 10(3) does not apply to a person who resides temporarily outside the jurisdiction.
