74 Grounds for cancellation of registration number rights
The Secretary may cancel registration number rights in respect of a registration number if—
(a) in the Secretary's opinion, the registration number—
(i) may be mistaken for another registration number; or
(ii) may give a misleading impression that a vehicle on which the registration number is displayed is owned by a department or agency of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory, including a police force, a defence force, an official security organisation or a road authority; or
(iii) is offensive or inappropriate for public display; or
(iv) was issued in error; or
(b) display of the registration number is prohibited by law; or
(c) the Secretary reasonably believes the rights have not been lawfully acquired or were acquired by fraud, misrepresentation or other dishonest means.
