the Disability Discrimination Act (here in Oz) does not actually specify the level of compliance according to WCAG. HREOC and AGIMO (google these) make some interpretations of the Act that are again interpreted by individual government bodies - I think it is fair to say that accessibility standards in Australia aren't (standard).
