To agree with mahmud - Just fired up a chrome incognito window:
 Type in www.google.com<p>Google redirects me to www.google.com.au<p>There's a link on the page to go to www.google.com<p>If I want to type something like www.google.co.nz into the browser I can search NZ fine.  But getting to www.google.com is a two step process.
