Because section 27 of the Australian Civil Aviation Act says one is required.
The Act makes special provision for applications to CASA for AOCs authorising the operation of foreign registered commercial aircraft in to and out of Australian territory, but at the end of the day it's an AOC issued by CASA under the section that every other AOC is issued by CASA. (I won't complicate things by talking about NZ-registered aircraft or 27A permissions.)
