Did Australia not do what people like the EU did and require its own data

Ask a lawyer, you get into the world of liability and negligence not just
DP law.
Anyway India has a variety of privacy laws but they are not quite the
same as most of the western ones and they were not neccessarily as
"complete" in some areas.
The initial EU analysis is here but rather dry reading:

The bigger question anyway is control and enforcement (by the company and
by the authorities)
