Why do you think Iceland is safe from government access (even safe from the US government)?

That may be a valid point, I'm not that familiar with Iceland.
My hunch though, is that they'll probably cooperate in criminal cases, but that it will go through some judge. Also, I think there is much lower risk of dragnet surveillance or secret court orders.
Also, I'm thinking that Australia may not be an ideal jurisdiction if you want to run an email company that cares about privacy. The offering will never get any better than the worst of national laws [weakest link argument].
