I’ve received this picture from a friend of mine who’s living there, in which she’s trying to buy Resident Evil 4 whilst on sale. That’s only speaking about being signed in, its the same when a guest tries to view the page whilst in Australia (rendering it inaccessible). I’m not from there, but to me that sounds completely retarded.
I’m not, just read it in the news.
But I guess you could try a VPN and buy the game from another country or pirate it.
My friend told me it’s a hassle to buy mature games on steam because of this, plus most Australians don’t own a CC (rather debit cards are used more). Luckily, I don’t have to worry about it as I’m a foreigner.
Although, I feel sorry for them on having to deal with that BS from their own government. She even considered creating a second account overseas with a VPN or downloading from torrent sites.
I’m pretty sure it’s against valve TOS to use a VPN and buy games, so be careful with that.
