Australia is in Southern hemisphere. They have opposite weather than us.

Now its too hot there (like our June). June is cold in Melbourne.

here you GO!Let me google that for you

Go for it Dude. If he has the space why not just bring it. Stuff like isnt really that expensive but when you compare it Pakistan. It tends to rack up and do get expensive. As long as he does not carry it in the hand luggage its fine.

I am afraid if you bring soap, shampoo, pastes etc, customs can inquire you, they usually handover the form so that you can claim certain things on that paper which are a part of your luggage, and if someone tries to be smart by not mentioning the certain item than get ready to loose your pockets for them.you can get these stuff in a reasonable price from any big stores like Coles/Woolworths/Aldi anyway so y to take risk.

Regarding the weather, it usually hot n humid for aprox four months Nov, Dec, Jan, feb, it start changes after Feb, you need to have umbrella and jacket in your bag all the time (rain is unpredictable).
Don't worry about routine expenses except renting which you can cover as well if you are not living alone.
Living in Aus is not expensive if you are willing to earn.
Most imp thing is the accommodation, you can find a reasonable place on http://www.domain.com.au/?mode=rent
These are the few points I can think of now.

Since when does customs inquire about soap and shampoo? I have been to 14-15 countries (Not Australia so maybe im not aware of special rules) but I have never been inquired about soap. Yeah, they do ask about electronics, accesive amount of jewlery or Cash. Even Alcohol and cigarettes. But never soap and shampoo. I agree you can probably buy stuff like that at the local supermarket but what does customs have to do with it??

EDIT: I did some research of my own and I found this. You can bring 1Kg of Solid Soap 7 Liters for shampoo.

I think I did read that correctly but if somebody thinks otherwise. Correct me.
