The speed camera tolerance in Western Australia is set ridiculously low. The Assistant Commissioner of Traffic believes that drivers should only be given 1 km/h tolerance which is the in built error factor in the Multanova speed camera.

Not sure about the WA tolerance, but this info from the link you provided was certainly interesting:

"Technical data on the Multanova 6F - Ka band (Australia):
...
Traffic margins of error: 25 - 100 km/h: ± 3 km/h
100 - 250 km/h: ± 3% (under rounding up to next integral value)
..."

So if the accuracy of the measuring device is only +/- 3km/h, and they allow a "tolerance" of 3km/h - then essentially they give you no tolerance whatsoever, and it is possible to be booked whilst going exactly on the speed limit.
