Can't do the legal work sorry. But here is some free advice... I'm not sure Australian copyright exceptions are anything to model best practice on. We are desperately trying to reform them.
A lot of good work has been done recently on this and is contained in the reports from the Australian Law Reform Commission which did an 18 month review of copyright exceptions in Australia. The final report recommends US style fair use or failing that fair dealing exceptions. The discussion paper gives a very good overview of all the problems that exist with current exceptions and why reform is needed. It's all online along with submissions which are also helpful for the arguments for OA here http://www.alrc.gov.au/inquiries/copyright-and-digital-economy Unfortunately the whole thing got stalled for a few years so nothing has happened. Reviews are underway again though so the merry-go-round continues.
