I saw the road works on the freeway in Perth have 60-signs the other night, with flashing yellow lights and people in the lanes putting up bollards etc.

You have to read the rule, it only applies to red and blue flashing lights ie emergency vehicles not road works or tow trucks.
There is a little clause, however here in Victoria which also covers Vicroad inspector vehicles with purple flashing lights.
