I think when you guys think of Australian technically it's British English- basically Aussie without the slang. Same spelling etc.

Yeh I wonder who decides which English Japanese learn.

It depends on the examination you're getting prepared for. In Europe, non-English speakers take the ESOL exams and since they're in charge of the University of Cambridge it's got to be British English.
