But I've just showed you that there are countries where this is clearly 
not the case. Don't you have any case rulings in Australia about 
copyright in maps? I've found several in Austria and Germany so it would 
be surprising if these countries where the only ones.

Can't you show me a case ruling where Australian judges said that map 
content is protected under copyright?
