Holy shit, my wife's a Saffa and I'd never considered the fact that it means my daughter technically has African heritage in her.

Sadly, I can't imagine it being much use when she's old enough to go to university. Most of the (African) black people in Australia come from recent migrant backgrounds, are fairly religious/conservative and believe strongly in education. I suspect they'd run into similar problems to Asians if we had the same affirmative action policies down here in Aus.
