I had no idea. Article below. Can anyone Ossies confirm?

EDIT - The comments seem to contradict the article somewhat. Lots of Aussie guys posting that they're having a hard time.

When my smart, sexy, successful girlfriend Rebecca arrived in Australia from Los Angeles in the hope of nabbing herself an eligible Aussie bloke, she was flabbergasted by what she discovered: a bunch of game-playing, Playboy types who come on strongly and then swiftly move on to the next without so much as a kiss in the morning or a goodbye text.
"What's going on?" she asked me, perplexed.
"They're spoilt for choice," I told her. "They don't need to pick one when there are so many beautiful girls everywhere you look."
One girlfriend claims that, despite recently meeting "the man of her dreams" (yes, he is a banker), she caught him still active on an online dating site.
"He told me that he likes getting 80 clicks a day. It's just a big boost to his ego and shows him he's still got it. For that reason he'll probably never settle down, even though he pretends to want to."
And why should he? Simple supply and demand.
After a few weeks in Australia, Rebecca vehemently concurred with my hypothesis. The competition is fierce. Hence the girls are becoming more desperate, will cling to anything with a stable job and a credit card, and boy, do the men know it.
When I did a quick poll of the gents for this column, I was swiftly given a startling reality check: men expect sex quickly, and the women feel that if they don't give it up just as fast, they'll lose out on nabbing the last available man in the country.
