It hasn't actually been classified yet, so whilst it is being sold as a LV version at the moment, if the classification comes back as something other than RC (refused classification) aussies will get the normal version but if it's RC'ed and they have to submit the LV version, they don't have to cancel, or modify pre-orders as it's been sold as that already.
Thanks Slashdot for posting an article from a week ago, since then there have been at least 440 more submissions made - and my public submission from Saturday morning isn't up on the site yet, so there's a lot more probably made.

"Telstra will be required to maintain separate retail, wholesale and network business units and to publish internal contracts setting out non-price terms and conditions. The model for operational separation was developed on expert advice in consultation with Telstra and the ACCC. The details of price equivalence arrangements under this model will be determined though a working group under the Minister's direction."
Straight from the Minister's website, not that's an indication for anything.
