Best Answer

The Christmas figure that gives out presents to children in Australia used to be Father Christmas until the Americans began to dominate the Sustralian market with the concept of "Santa Claus". Though known in some parts of Australia as Santa Claus before the 1980s, this is when the name really started to become popular.
