I've just found something useful.
When you use a pc to try to watch Colbert or the Daily Show from their Comedy Central websites, you get blocked from watching the videos in Australia. You can use an overseas proxy server to get around this, I suppose, but I haven't bothered trying.
Mediate sometimes puts up some of the videos from those shows on their site, and they aren't region blocked, but they don't put up much.
I have just now learned that if you use an iPad, even just via a browser (ie, without loading the shows' apps), you can get an iPad digest version of the shows which contains videos you can watch from Australia.
It's a lot less content than from the normal website, but it's a lot more than I have been able to watch over the last year or so.
Fellow iPad users of Australia who did not realize this, you can thank me later....
