In the GameCube era, Australia had a bit of a rocky relationship with Nintendo. The GameCube has only sold 167,899 units there in its lifetime so far, though we can't imagine those numbers going up much. All seems to be forgiven and forgotten, however, because the Wii is now the fastest selling console in the country. In the (almost) year that the Wii has been around, it has sold 200,000 copies, which is more than even the DS and Xbox 360 sold in their first years. With its Australian market growing, perhaps Nintendo won't neglect its PAL region as much as it tends to do sometimes, but alas, we can only hope.
