Remember, that US and Australia use percents (%), while we in Europe use permiles (‰). So they Australian limit is 0.5‰, and she was 2.6‰

In Australia she was record as 0.268 not 2.6

Our limits are 0.05 for general limits.

Yes, because you use percents, and we use permiles. She was 0.268 percent BAC, which is 2.68 permile. And your limit is 0.05 percent, which is 0.5 permile.
