That's because it's just not a very good rifle, and the early Aussie-made examples had some poor quality control as well.

Also, with a fairly consistent defence budget of around 2% of Australia's GDP, their defence forces aren't really that cash-strapped (Australia is a very wealthy country, per capita). What it is, is stretched over a lot of coastline.
