the lenovo y50 is pretty good but you would have to spend a bit more.

If you just want a laptop that works, I would look at the Dell Inspiron 5000 series.

Or for something with 1080p

the one @Benjio had is pretty good and under 1000, so get it.

If you want something with better battery life, consider the Thinkpad T and X series. Both are perfect for programming, and are very rugged. They can be configured with various features to hit $1000. Might even be a bit more, but they're worth the price you pay.

Get either the lenovo y50 or y40. (I personally would go with the y50 as it has the larger screen and I like it more.)

You could try Amazon.com, they ship to Australia and charge an Import fees deposit - which will be returned to you if it's unused (most likely will be unused depending on how lenient customs is).
