I am assuming State roads, such as the domain tunnels and such.
Going by what ACA's topic of debate was about tonight anyway.
No real reason why the prohibition could not apply to 'some lengths' of state freeway class roads bearing three or more general traffic lanes. To act as a 'valve'. Such a prohibition would not apply "XX" kilometre length from a right hand ramp.

Things will improve with discipline, but it will take years for that to show as new 'ediucated' drivers some online.

NB - To further encourage folk in using the left lane, NSW will consider ending or 'dropping' the right-lane when reducing traffic lanes from three to two.

That would leave an unbroken left lane for a roads entire length, further encouraging keep-left behaviour. Atm; the right lane is unbroken nationally, yet we cannot use it always. Germany typically drops a motorway 'fast' (median) lane with typically a 700 metre taper. We use 500 metres in AUS generally.
