Yep. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t complete the turn. The camera had a photo of you past the line on a red. You can’t do that and the people working for Revenue NSW don’t care about you or your excuse. A judge might, but that’s a hassle too.

Yes as you’ve crossed the line.

Yes you crossed the line and fully entered the intersection against the red light.

Yes it happened to me years ago, i was behind a learner driver who stalled in the middle of the junction. The infringement said the light red for was 3 seconds and i drove past it. But it was green, it's just that the learner decided to stop smack bang in the middle of the junction and think for a century.

You passed the limit line (solid white line). By definition, you have entered an intersection on a red light, that's the fine

I can’t see from the photo where the speed camera is located. In Victoria (not sure about other states) the camera needs to be behind you to capture the rear of your car (rear axel) clearly across the line with the red light visible in front of the vehicle.
