50% for Australia seems a bit high since it wasn't involved in combat with nuclear armed countries.
Admittedly a few nukes would have found their way here, but even so, I'm thinking more along the lines of somewhere between 10-25% is a more accurate guess.
At the absolute extreme, if everyone died in and around the cities likely to be hit (Sydney, Newcastle, Woolongong, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne) it would be around 46% - and that's if EVERYONE died.
