On the contrary, availability of lenses is often better here in Australia than in the US. Two of the three lenses you mention were in stock at a major retailer when I checked today.
What we don’t have is good photo equipment rental. There are some studios for hire that also rent out small numbers of bread-and-butter items, often discontinued models. The only specialist photo equipment rental business that I know of wants to hold your passport while you have the gear. I would not agree to it, I imagine Klaus might not (even if they accept a German passport if he’s still on that), and of course, it’s useless if you want to hire something for an overseas trip!
Because we speak English, are notorious early adopters, and are in about the same time zone as Japan, Japanese electronics companies often launch or test products here. This might explain, for example, how Jan Wegener manages to hear about some new stuff before infuencers in the US or UK.

Although I know how it would end up in the FF regions outside the APS-C, as I put it on 6D... If I for a while disregard the effort and also availability of such various lenses, they're still around and people may still try to use them, because they're available for cheap bucks, so a test at least on a 20MP FF would be nice. But I agree minority of people would read it.
