I’d like to point out that article isn’t an ASIC article, If you ask traders around which non-Australian residence/citizen, some of them they still use Australian brokers. I’d recommend you to ask the compliance team of that broker for best advise including information regarding which country are allowed
What can you say about AxiTrader? In my opinion, they offer good trading conditions. But I have not worked with this company yet.
Don’t give them ideas, for all we know they’d do it too. 
It’s good broker with good history but I think you have to diversify your broker choice and choose several brokers.
