I think they are waiting for http://www.classification.gov.au/ to give it a rating and then they have to wait for a week when little or no other PSN games are being released. This is so Worms doesn't take away sales from another PSN title or vice versa.
edit:
Worms was rated PG on the 19th of June, 2009 (http://www.classification.gov.au/www/cob/find.nsf/5c2433d416948a0bca25759f00820d25/f24ebe8accee4ffaca2575e4001c6f5d!OpenDocument).

A better reason than the law? In Australia, games have to be rated before they can legally be sold. There might be some loophole with downloadable games.

It looks like the classification.gov.au is back online, but there still doesn't appear to be any sign of Worms for PSN.
Team17, are you sure that the game has been submitted? Also, what about New Zealanders? Do we have to wait for Australian classification before we can get the game?

Have you Aussies got it yet?
Looks like you got classification (PG) on the 19th of June. I emailed the Sony NZ and they can't help. They just tell me to keep checking the online store.
