Thanks.
The Australian stuff is a bit guesswork, but the 'company as a person' idea being the basis of AI personhood has been used in a number of places in science fiction. I think it also fit the Australian politics, as I see it, which looks to be pragmatic and (mostly) business friendly.
Of course, AIs that want to settle in Australia, as opposed to just visit, will have to pass all the usual tests. [grin]
