I'm actually in NZ, it might be different in AU, but generally when you buy colocation here you only pay for international bandwidth; national bandwidth is free.

In Australia we get charged the same rate for all traffic, except for various special cases (peering arrangements, AARNet).
The economics of our ISPs and hosts are driven entirely by the price of about 3 major pipes out of the country.
