New 100 gram markings?
So, the smallest increment marked is 6.66666 Tablespoons (ours) or 5 Tablespoons (yours). That doesn't sound nearly as convenient as our wrappers, marked out by Tablespoons, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup and 1/2 cup (whole stick - 8 Tablespoons).

I suppose Australia uses a tablespoon of 4 teaspoons (20 ml) while ours is 15 ml (3 teaspoons) is because it's more compatible with metric. That does make more sense than UK tablespoons which are 3-1/2 teaspoons (18 ml), making calculations as difficult as possible.
New AFAIK, Aussie cookbooks tend to specify butter in weight.
You're right about our tablespoon measure being 20ml. We are, unfortunately, unique in that value and I don't know why.

I wonder if the UK one is actually based on an Imperial value.
