Most of the domains I have are registered in the gTLD space, they are
registered for business reasons and the majority of my business is with
international clients.  I do have some domains under .au however.  I also
bring far more money back into Australia than I send overseas.  If may
business was with more than the part of a percentage point of Australians that
it is now I would certainly use a .au domain name to enhance the prospects for
marketing here.

There are many reasons why this may be the case, I'd suspect it is mostly
historical and no one has seen any justification for making a change.

It is working as it is supposed to, as and when appropriate.
