I think it was written for Australians

  You're both getting down voted, but as an Australian I think you're both onto something here, quite interesting. Its definitely the case that Australian tech people tend to overly bloviate when it comes to national pride - this article triggered me extensively in that regard. Australians bloviate.

    It is written by PR people ("Corporate Communications") not engineers. It is deliberately pitched in a non-technical and self-inflated way, presumably on the assumption that members of the public enjoy a jingoistic self-congratulatory tone. Maybe that is the only way to get that kind of press release into the press.
