i don't know much about the Aussies, but i do know this, The Japanese POW's suffered a fate worse than Death, they were tortured in the most barbaric ways possible, including having a petrol-laden cloth wrapped around their genitalia and then having it lit, The POW's in Europe from Australia were A) few in number and B) not as badly treated and often just went a little bit hungry
Many POWs captured by the Australians were handed over to the Army they were part of. For example many prisoners captured in North Africa would end up in British run POW camps. Additionally there were POW camps all over Australia. In 1944 there were 2,223 Japanese, 14,720 Italian prisoners and 1,585 Germans. The most famous POW camp in Australia is at Cowra in New South Wales where 400 Japanese prisoners broke out through the wire and escaped into the countryside. 4 Australians were killed during the breakout and 234 Japanese.

the Bushido code was a Japanese honour code, where the Japanese would commit suicide instead of surrendering. the did not believe in surrender and were taught to take their own lives as apposed to disobeying their honourable code. the Japanese therefor did not respect POW that surrendered and so treated them terribly, killing most of them.
