That doesn't apply because you're not working for a company in the country you're working in.

i.e. if you're American, and you visit Australia on a tourist visa and work for an American company while doing so, that's perfectly fine.

If you wanted to work for an Australian company and earn Australian dollars, you'd need a work visa which is a whole 'nother thing.

That's simply not true. It doesn't matter where your employer is based [1].

"if you have a tourist visa, you cannot work at all;"

Another comment in this thread makes it clear permission was asked in multiple countries, and every country was perfectly OK with it.

Anecdotes aren't evidence.

You're correct. That person calling each embassy separately and asking them is evidence.

Pretty sure that page is presuming the employer is Australian. That makes all the difference.

"Pretty sure" is something people should confirm before travelling to these places, no?

True.
