Try `dpkg-reconfigure locales` (as root) and enable en_AU.ISO-8859-1.
You should then be able to use it.

If there's a problem changing it after that, check that it's not being
forced in /etc/environment.

As a final method, you could recursively grep /etc or dotfiles in your
home directory for 'en_AU'.
