Australians go with Kent in King Lear
Kent. Thou whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter! (Act II Scene 2)
"Zee" is used on Sesame Street because it is an American show but children are taught "zed" - as are most English speakers outside the USA.

Australians tend to use the ZED sound because of being a primary English country, Whether settled by criminals or not English were the first immigrants so the language spoken wast that of the Mother land.
Dutch and Europeans use the Zee sound and many of these migrants went to America to find the great dream. They took their European ways with them and so Americans are more likely to use Zee because of their European roots.
