Whilst the ban is dumb Australia doesn't have a right to free speech like Amerikkka so this won't hold up in our legal system

I don't know how the law works in Australia but one way this could get funny is asking whether Reddit considers itself as a "common carrier" or not. Is Reddit a publisher, or are they a communications platform? If Reddit insists they are a communications platform (and therefore not liable for what people post), they are insisting is not their speech being censored, so what standing do they have to bring this case?
