China's IPv6 transition is 74% complete.[1] Conversion to IPv6 was specifically called out in China's 14th Five Year Plan, which gives the goal high visibility within the government and the Party. Conversion is quite far along. The current goal is everything IPv6 enabled by 2025, IPv4 turns off in 2030.

99% of the top 100 mobile applications in China are on IPv6. China Mobile's backbone is now IPv6 only.

India is also around 75%. Both of them cover quite a bit of humanity. The regions where growth is going to happen don't own a lot of blocks so they will focus on IPv6.

Vietnam (pop. 98M) has mandated moving to IPv6, with goals for migration between 2025 and 2030:

Meanwhile in Australia I called my ISP to enable IPv6 and they asked me to justify why I needed it.

Because "it's the Internet" and has been a standard since the year 2000 doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to bother...

What ISP is that? Name and shame. I'm Australian and want to know to avoid them.

You can't avoid them because they're not a retail telco, they provide wholesale/bulk services to apartment buildings with 15-year lock in contracts.
