If the author in question learnt to spell using a phonetic spelling technique then its more than plausible that they think that "parse" is the correct spelling of "pass" in this instance. According to Wikipedia the Australian pronunciations of words have most in common with a south-eastern and/or London English accent or Received pronunciation. At which point, I'd say it pretty much is as I suspected another example of phonetic spelling gone bad. For me, I've always maintained that phonetic spelling is simply a cover for allowing poor spelling through the door.
