Unfortunately remote start is illegal in Australia. Also, aftermarket remote starters can severely compromise the security of your car.

Please disregard the statement above, as remote start systems are not illegal in Australia.
There are differences between states and as far as I know they are only actually not allowed at all in Western Australia.

Can this be clarified. A vehicle can not legally be running unless someone is in the drivers seat. So whilst a remote start system can be installed it would not be able to be used.

Sorry Marc, I was relying on my time as an alarm fitter when the company I worked for would not fit alarms capable of remote start on the grounds that it was illegal and compromised the security of the car (most of them involve bypassing the factory transponder immobiliser.)
Legalities aside, I am still not sure why you'd want to start your car without actually being in it.
I give it full merit as a gadget - a showoff feature - but it's usefulness beyond that???

The remote start is probably a feature best suited to people that live in a much colder climate....Start the car up 10 mins before u have to leave home in the morning...nice warm car ready to go!
Even if it could have been installed with my VE, I wouldn't want it because it does have to bypass the factory immobiliser....

In japan they start their cars before they go outside and have the heaters on full, it removes ice and snow from sticking to the window.
i know this cause my friend shoveled snow in the mornings for his neighbours and alot of them had remote start.

My understanding is that your vehicle can be running without a driver sitting in the vehicle providing the vehicle is not on a public road. Therefore, remote start can be used legally for it's intended application and that is as Cory suggested above.
This is only what I have heard and is by no means 100% accurate. I will however try and get a more official stance on it for you guys.

Guys,
To try to clarify everyones questions here.
Remote start cant be done on a VE due to the fact the car runs a form of CAN Bus.
Pulsar and Tegboy will be able to use remote start in conjunction with factory imobiliser bypass. These bypass units do not compromise your factory security as they only disengage the immobiliser whilst remote start is being used otherwise they continue to protect the car.
Having remote start fitted to your car is not illegal, it is however illegal to have your car running un attended in a public area. This would make Turbo Timers illegal if that were the case.
Viper remote start alarms have features to guard against the vehicle starting whilst in gear. Installed by an Authorised Dealer you will have no concerns.
Viper Smart Start is coming late March early April so stay tuned.
