It's a tad misleading but if you read deep enough into it, it all makes sense.
The limits haven't changed, still .08, but the penalties have, except they don't explicitly mention that it isn't the .08 penalties that have changed, it is the penalties for being UNDER .08 that have changed. In fact there didn't even used to be a penalty for being under .08 (for the most part).
So yeah, the limits haven't changed but they've increased the penalties to punish all those scumbags driving under the legal limit.

.05 - .08 has always been a 24 hour suspension...if it was a roadside test it would have shown orange and if you are in the station they hold your licence until the next day anyhow.
