The report is by NAB, which appears to be by far the most bitcoin-friendly of the Aussie banks. My former bank, the Communist Bank 
is bitcoin-hostile. There are mixed reactions about ANZ; it seems as though they aren't necessarily overtly anti-bitcoin per se, but they have "fraud concerns".

Has the Communist bank suspended savings accounts for doing BTC transactions?
NAB/Westpac have currently taken on many of Australia's Bitcoin-based businesses with little issues (that I've heard of at least).
Hostile:
The business + personal accounts of all the coinjar founders were closed within a few weeks of releasing the website to the public (commonwealth bank).
Not to sure about the others but that's one real example.

Coinjar which is Australia's version of Coinbase uses NAB.

FYI - We have recently established a partnership with Australian business banking relationships and now offer local AUD deposits and withdrawals. It would appear that Australian banks are finally warming to Bitcoin.

lol... it seems that the bankers are panicking everywhere. Be it the American ones or the Chinese ones... or even the Australian bankers.... everyone is afraid of the Bitcoin. A good thing, I'd say.
