This is a very interesting idea, but conceptually I can see ne reason
for it. The corialis force is different in the southern hemisphere, but
the magnetic field is in the same direction as in the northern hemisphere.
Unless there is some other mechanism involved, it sounds bogus to me. But
one difference I can think of is that the power is at a different frequency
and voltage in australia. I believe that it is 50 HZ at 220 V, but I am not
positive. 60 HZ moniters will not work at 50 HZ, so that might be the
reason for the different moniters.
