It's not the language of all Australians.  Ayers Rock is now Uluru. So it
may be
sensible, in some cases, to add name:en to allow for future such changes.  I
probably wouldn't bother because local mappers ought to have an idea if the
name is English or not.  However, the wiki suggest it's not only
permissible,
it's also desirable:
