In view of the fact that most of Australia is arid by world standards, and a large part of Australia is in the grip of possibly the worst drought in history, that is a pretty bold statement! I do agree that Brisbane (and coastal parts from about Melbourne to Cairns) does tend to be humid, but the vast majority of Australia is not.
And moisture buildup does not normally happen in oil even in humid climates unless the engine is used infrequently and/or never reaches operating temperature for any length of time. Once the engine is at normal operating temperature, moisture is rapidly evaporated from the oil.
