When you read the total carbs on a food label in Australia, has the fibre been deducted?

As far as I know, yes.

If you're not sure, the way to work it out is to do the little sums.

Protein - approx 4 cals (18kJ) per g
Carbs - ditto
Fat - approx 9 (38ish kJ) per g

So as long as you're given the total calorie or kilojoule count, you can work it out. I've always found the fibre to be subtracted.
