I looked in the install log under ~/./thunderbird/*default* and what its trying to do is install the dictionary in a system folder that needs "root" permissions.
East way to get around this is just run mozilla-thunderbird as root (type su then root password in a terminal then type mozilla-thunderbird)
When Thunderbird tries to do a setup just skip it.
Open the extensions menu drag and drop the dictionary file on the extensions window, bingo installed.
Now start Thunderbird under your user account per normal.
Goto Edit->Preferences click on the Composition Icon then the Spelling Tab, and in the drop down menu is the Australian dictionary.
