> I certainly think they could withdraw Google Search

Why would they go that far? At worst, shut down google.com.au or redirect to google.com (ie, a Non-Australian site).

It's hardly their fault if people persist in using Google even when they don't operate in the country any more, surely? If the Australia government wants to create a great firewall of Australia to ban Google, surely they should do it at their expense, not Googles?
