I'm confused by your post - and not only by the apparent differences in spelling between US English and Aussie English.
Do you mean that the Kindle 3's sent to Australia still don't include a USB cable? (The thread you resurrected is from a 2009 discussion about the K2 package not including a power cord or a USB cable.)
Here is a quote from this page

This Kindle ships with a micro-USB cable for charging via a computer USB port. To save $10 on a local power adapter, add an adapter to your cart as you place your Kindle order. See details.

From this it would appear that the K3
does come with a USB cable but that you still need to purchase a separate wall charger for it, such as this one -

I do agree that Amazon should include a country specific wall charger adapter with their Kindles, instead of making the user buy one separately.

Edit -Whoops, desertgrandma beat me to it, in reference to showing that the USB cable is included with the Australian Kindle!
