I agree.  Note that Internode, despite being owned by iiNet, do fully
support IPv6 and have done for decades.  I believe they were one of the
first ISPs in Australia to deploy it.
 
I have Aussie Broadband - they support IPv6 and have wonderful Aussie based support,
a nice App to see and configure things from your phone. Includes being able to kick
your line and do connection tests and such!

Not sure how good the IPv6 is as I haven't tried using it for the last six months.
Vaguely tempted to look at one of the tutorials and try again some time. 

They are up to $10 / month more than TPG but I'm pretty happy with them.

Don't forget if you want to run a service you'll need a static IP ($10 a month more) for
TPG (last I looked) $5 for Aussie and be aware of port filters and CG-NAT (carrier grade NAT).
That said Aussie BB will lift any filtering (you have to ask) and if you say you play games will
pull you off the carrier grade NAT and your DHCP IP very rarely changes (mine never has in a year). I believe the $5 at Aussie will automatically get the CG-NAT + port filtering removed.
