Multos has been strongly favoured on a security basis in the draft Australian Smartcard Framework under submission. And with Keycorp a local company they will be amongst the frontrunners for the OS supply, key management system (Stepnexus), and probably a proportion of the shared smartcard supply.
My guess is that Keycorp will take a backseat in the system integrator role - in a consortium maybe lead by ACI. They will then take the Prime role in the card supply.
The RFT's specify that the data cannot be held / sent offshore - therefore there will have to be a local company with the ability to write 30k cards a day.
Who else?
