The problem was government and bureaucracy ...the cost and indecision on the system ..PAL vs SECAM... and then licensing issues (PAL had to be licensed)... but the main factor was that the government didn't want to spend money on upgrading the national broadcaster.
Political interference has not ended... digital tv in Australia has been hamstrung but absurd rules to protect friends of the government ... but that is nothing new!
But getting back to colour stuff... programs made in Australia for sale overseas were often filmed in colour ...so overseas veiwers often saw material in colour made here well before we did.
As for me ..to be honest 625 NTSC would have been fine and we could have done it in 1956!!!
