So who in Aus is hogging the ipv4's ?

Aus has ~48M IPv4 addresses and - population 25 million max

 India has ~35M IPv4 addresses - population 1Billion +

Now I see the reason why ipv6 isnt moving forward in Aus cause I bet major
telco's have millions of ipv4 sitting around... :P

APNIC has 2.5billion of the worlds population as members in China and India

Actually, Australia kind of is the problem - we've got ~48M IPv4 addresses
and India has ~35M IPv4 addresses with somewhat different populations.  Only
China, Japan, Korea have more IPv4 space in the APNIC region than Australia
does.  We've got it because of historic reasons - we had bigger take up
earlier, not because we actually need it.
