I believe the expense of listing or compliance is a concern for these Aussie companies. I'm aware of several small e&p companies that were set up in Australia and followed a path of acquiring land in the USA, developing it or parts of it, and then, as stock appreciated and/or to broaden the shareholder base, getting a listing on a USA exchange. I've had no issues (capital structure/fraud) with Canadian companies (with only the .to or .v listing) buying and developing only or primarily land in the USA, so for me I don't see the problem with the Australians doing the same thing.
