Actually the spellchecker works very well. It is just that you
don't realize that it is checking words against a USA dictionary
rather than Australian. Here is the "standard fix" as you put it:
The OOo (OpenOffice.org) spell check function has to accommodate many
languages and requires a little configuration to ensure it works
correctly for your language/dialect.
If you want the Australian dictionary download the options from this
page: http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oooau
For other English variations or languages dictionaries see:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries
For a tutorial on spell checking and language configuration see:

The above I copied from a reply by David Burton to someone else
from Australia.
