Yes, you can use Karen. But you have to go into settings > general > international > rformat region and choose Australia there. Then if you want the hq voice rather than the compact voice, you will have to be patient because it doesn't download the hq voice right away apparently. I ended up resetting my phone but it sounds like if you just give it time and maybe even lock the screen and put it on your charger for a while, the hq voice should eventually download. I haven't had any issues with having Australia chosen in Format Region except that siri has given me a couple of pieces of data in kilometers. But somebody said weather was in Celcius; that hasn't happened to me however. Just keep in mind that if you switch back the hq Samantha has tao download again so you have to wait for that to happen. Personally I plan to stick with Karen unless I uncover a major problem caused by using her.
