[GIS] All LGAs for Australia in KML or KMZ format

From the Australian Bureau of Statistics:

The product includes boundaries of Local Government Areas, Statistical Local Areas, Statistical Divisions, Statistical Subdivisions, States, Statistical Districts, Major Statistical Regions, Statistical Regions and Statistical Region Sectors, current at 1 July 2011. The digital boundaries are available only at one level of detail. These boundaries are intended for import and display in GIS and desktop mapping packages and, because of the high level of detail, they are not suitable for use in 'low-end' mapping packages such as those included in Excel.

It's in .shp, .mid, and .mif

Here is an explanation of some of the ways to convert from a shapefile to KML. And here is a breakdown of how to use GDAL to convert as well.
