Thought I would just correct some misconceptions on this thread.

Not all airports in class C in Aus operate at 250k below 10. See AIP ENR 1.1 para 80.1. The speed limit only applies at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Gold Coast. At other class C airports such as Perth, Canberra, Adelaide etc., if the STAR doesn't have a speed restriction then there isn't one.

Not true, the phrase 'cancel speed restrictions' means 'cancel STAR speed requirements'. See AIP GEN 3.4 para 5.11.
