Here, Qantas clearly states that 23Kgs of checked bags is already part of the final fare, Jetstar and Virgin Blue clearly indicate that you need to select a 'checked bags' option when making a booking.
How does in work in Nth America?
Sorry Adam, forgot to mention that they charge for both first and second bags. I booked most of my flights through Expedia, so there wasn't an option for checked bags there. There is a discount for checking-in online and paying the bag fee by CC, but it's only a few dollars.

I should also mention that if you fly on a smaller aircraft, be prepared for the cabin crew to request/tell you to put your cabin bag in the hold if there isn't enough room. I was happy to put my normal bag in but had to argue about my back pack - no way am I letting my camera gear get thrown around...
