If the earth is at perihelion in January, shouldn't it combine with the effect of tilt and make the sun feel stronger in southern latitudes, compared to an equivalent northern latitude in July?

..forget the hole in the ozone- that just plays a small part. The main reason the Sun in Australian summers is because they experience summer when the Earth is 3 million miles nearer the Sun. The Earth then gets 3.3% more energy from it. Taking that into consideration along with the fact that the Sun is nearly directly overhead in mid /upper continent (Straight above in the north) The intensity is enormous.

because Australia is located at the Equatorial of the Earth, which receives much the energy from the Sun. That's why we feel hotter in Australia

Yes, but the northern hemisphere has a greater land area (which heats up quicker), so the summer temperatures are about the same.

All I know is Summer has only just begun and its been bloody hot. I don't know the answer to your question I just know the sun has had some kick in it the last couple of weeks.
