Yes - about 200km north west of Sydney. At least we don't see taipans.
And... possibly. But my understanding is they're expensive / in short supply, require careful environmental control (though a fridge probably cuts it) and they have a relatively short shelf life.
Plus in many cases, people most at risk are a good way from cool storage.
I think there's also a need in some - but thankfully not all cases now - to identify the species via swab & test. If you get bit, you probably know the type that bit you, but it's not guaranteed.
