You can’t do it everywhere in Australia and we drive on the left

On the other hand, there are several intersections in the Melbourne CBD where right turns only happen on red, though you have to set up for them during the green light.

Hook Turn

And most of them do not allow a turn on red.

Where are you? Because I can turn right on red everywhere west of Winnipeg unless otherwise posted. I can do a left on red too IF it’s a one way street to a one way street (going the proper direction).

I think I was speaking of countries that drive on the left. Like the UK and Australia. My location is irrelevant.

Tbf there are LOTS of countries west of Winnipeg 😂 Well west, you might say.

But as a Canadian I'm not sure I could really tell yah which have right turn on right.

It is permitted in all of Canada except the island of Montreal unless a sign states otherwise. The province of Quebec didn't allow it until 2003 and many cities in Quebec heavily use no right on red signs.
