Some parts of Australia are as warm in winter as Europe in summer. :-)
Both are pretty big and have a diversity in climates so please be more
specific.

Since Europe's climate ranges from that in Norway to that in
Sicily, and Australia's probably around the same, a question like
this can't really be answered. You need to be much more specific
about where in Europe and where in Australia.

Shift it up the scale a bit. Darwin is outright tropical, and Tasmania
doesn't freeze often, let alone see much snow.

I have read somewhere that Australia gets more snow than Switzerland!
Couple of years ago we had some cross country skiers died in a blizzard.
Despite a massive search their bodies weren't found till spring.

Actually the reference was to the mainland and did not even include Tasmania
which does have a couple of skiing aeas as well. I was just too scared of a
reaction like yours to tell the whole story.

Have you ever been here in the south east of Australia during our winter?

To get really pedantic, there are a couple of islands south of
Tasmania too!

    >Have you ever been here in the south east of Australia during our winter?

Yes. Lived in Melbourne, Adelaide and Tasmania for a few years on and
off. Highly changeable weather, but not that cold. Snow is certainly
rare outside of the mountains.
