I think a wiki page for Australia is certainly a good idea, just like 
there's one for UK comm detection.
I can imaging that long term there's always going to be some settings 
that work better in some countries but not in others, so separating 
methods for regions may be a good idea as a way to avoid false positives.

fwiw I've found that silence detection script mentioned here a while 
back generally works really well on most channels in Melbourne, but not 
at all on others.
10, 11, SBS, ABC, 7 all appear to work based on what's in my 
recordedmarkup table, by memory these generally get the cut points 
pretty well.
Channel 9 get's nothing from that script though.
