Volkswagen fined record $125 million for dieselgate in Australia

The Federal Court has fined Volkswagen a record $125 million – almost twice the $75 million it had agreed upon with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) – for making "false representations" about the diesel emissions of more than 57,000 cars. It is the highest penalty ever handed down by the Federal Court for breaching Australian consumer law.
