Do Australians need an e-visa for tourism in Thailand in December, or is the 30-day exemption still valid?
hi do Australians coming for tourism purposes in December require the e-visa? or is the 30 day exemption still in place?
Answer summary
Australians traveling to Thailand for tourism purposes in December do not need an e-visa. The visa exemption is currently 60 days, meaning they can enter without a visa. There was confusion regarding the implementation of an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), which has been postponed and is not required at this time.

I think you were mixed up about the announcement stating that at the end of December they were going to implement ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) <- that you applied for online before you come to thailand on a free stamp (visa exempt) entry
It wasn't going to be an eVisa 😮 It was just going to be online approval to travel to thailand without any visa in your passport and enter free stamp.
The program was postponed indefinitely and you can just show up like normal and get stamped in free for 60 days

No, Australians don't need a visa to stay in Thailand for tourism purposes in the short term.
Visa-exempt entries are still in place but it's 60 days now.
I think you are mixing eVisa and ETA. Check this post, please.
