Hungry Jack is a franchise of Burger King. So technically they are the same company, but as they are not owned corporately, but have individual owners, the name is changed.

Because a different name projects a different image for a different place. Hungry Jacks is a better fit for the outback.
Just like some places a restaraunt is called country buffet but its also called hometown buffet in other cities.

Are you sure it is the same company? If it is, it could be as simple as Buger King buying out Hungry Jack's and keeping the name because you Australians are used to that name.

No, but I knew the Quarter Pounder in France is called a Burger Royale due to the metric system.

Australia use to be a colony of England. they don't like to be reminded of this, therefore burger king became hunger jack in Australia......
