Alex,

unfortunately I cannot tell you anything about Australian regulations either, but according to 3.6.1.4 of ICAO Annex 2 you are absolutely right.

Quote:

3.6.1.4 An aircraft operated on a controlled aerodrome shall not taxi on the manoeuvring area without clearance from the aerodrome control tower and shall comply with any instructions given by that unit.

As BOAC has pointed out, it is common practice to ask landing aircraft to arrange their landings so as to vacate via a specific taxiway. However, a taxi clearance like in your example (given on final approach with the landing clearance) would be a conditional clearance. Again, BOAC has already explained the logic behind this.
