'personalised plates' but I bet you can't do it to regular plates.
My Plates are a bunch of scabs, in the past you could get regular plates ABC-123, etc. to your choice as long as it wasn't taken, you just paid about $110 for as long as you could keep it, no yearly fee.
Today, if you are lucky enough to have done this prior to the scabs taking over and you damage those plates and want a replacement, they will give you the plate off the top of the pile, if you want the same plate you previously had, they consider that custom and will now charge you their yearly fee. Previously you just paid $27 for a replacement pair, no ongoing fees.

.... and the fees they collect go into their pockets, not into our roads as was previous with the RTA. They're a private company that pay pittance to the govt. to run their service.
