I said "what does that mean for me?" So he said "its the Australian National standard and is with 265/45/17's my car would be legally compliant in the ACT."

So I asked my insurance company, they says if it is roadwothry according to the ACT govt then its fine with them.

I draw your attention to the following website.

http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roa.../vsb_ncop.aspx

Then specifically to the link regarding tyres and suspension page 16 of 71.

NCOP11 Section LS Suspension and steering 3 Feb 2006

I printed it out and took it back to my tyre bloke and he was happy.

Thanks for that info WhatNoJeep. I had similar encounters at the tyre shops and have printed the page for future use

My insurance company (AAMI) also said the same thing in terms of upgrading tyres and compliance.

As per last sentence. They've even covered me when I had a 4WDriving incident, hardly any questions asked, picked up the car, called back and writ the car off and paid me the agreed amount via EFT. Just happened so fast.
