I looked up some of the families in Australia, seems like Barbaro, Sergi, Pappalia, etc are all pretty big there, these families may have independence on how things go in Australia, but they're still Ndrangheta and the base of their families is back in Calabria, not Australia. The American Mob is a legit independent body, because groups like the 5 families, Chicago Outfit, Buffalo, Philly, etc do not represent Italian Mafia, they represent American Mafia.
