OK, IP Australia has this to say about that search:

"This is a search of surnames supplied by the Australian Electoral Office. It gives an indication of whether a trade mark is a common surname (and so not capable of distinguishing under the Trade Marks Act 1995). Note: common = 500 or more occurrences."

I'm guessing that means it is a list of registered voters. You're all registered to vote, right? :p

edit: There are actually 21 white pages listings for my surname in Australia. This search returns 29, so it is fairly safe to say it is a list of registered voters.
