Yep, he's taken this "style" to a new level, but I see it in varying degrees in the work of many other film makers.
It's more exaggerated in Baz's films, which drove me to ask.
Is there a name for this style, other than a few negative terms I could come up with?

  ...? Naw, John Waters did this decades ago.
  
  I liked it in "Strictly Ballroom", because there it inhabited a comedy of stereotypes.
  
  In "Australia" it seemed over the top in places for sure, considering the film's overall "epic" ambitions. I guess Baz just couldn't restrain himself from wanting us to see silliness, so he manufactured some?
