So, I've lived in Western Australia all my life, and I work in media. Here in WA, only the "big paper" or "The West Australian/Sunday Times" has permission to be thrown onto people's driveways. Both PMP and Salmat, who are the distributors of local newspapers here in Western Australia and I believe Australia wide, require all local newspaper be delivered with the circulars straight into the letterbox. This is because of CALMs management laws regarding fire safety and environmental protection. If you're not in an area that gets weekly circular deliveries (which is a lot of the rural towns here in WA, at least in my experience working with local media) you have to pick it up from the town news agents.
This is why I'd really like to find some actual confirmation on that paper beyond speculation or well educated guesses.
I mean it could be that NSW don't give a crap about fire safety and they let their paper delivery kids just ditch paper into the highly flammable bush land! But we definitely do not do that here in WA so it strikes me as pretty odd c':
