Why is it that Australian actors never seem to play Australians (except when they are acting in Australians films)?

I am watching Mad Max for the first time. I didn’t realize it was an Australian film. I think it is the first time I have seen a film where Mel Gibson speaks with an Australian accent. Off the top of my head, I can think of three other Australian actors, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman, who almost never speak with their native accent when acting in American films. Why do you suppose this is?
