The parity between Brunei Dollar and SGD is fixed by agreement. The parity between AUD and SGD is rather temporary and has other reasons.

where are you gonne use it? No one will accept Aussie dollars because they can't deposit into bank directly without paying foreign currency handling fee. beside, bank exchange rate won't be better than outside exchange rate too.

If cannot use but will we still able to get 1:1 or lesser? Check online, 1:1 for Brunei and Australia $.

So??

the currency exchange always fluctuated by market force, it won't be 1 to 1 forever unless is fixed by agreement.

Even if its 1:1 now you wont get that at money changers, they need to charge a spread to cover their risks and costs. You would likely have to pay slightly above S$1 to get A$1 now. You would pay S$1 for A$1 only if the exchange rate strengthens a little further in S$'s favour.

U can ask the shops if they willing to take it
Shops take Brunei dollars cos they know it's fixed at 1:1

Depends what sort of service you have to pay the Aud $.

The girls in Orchard Plaza would gladly receive it thinking you're are a foreigner in a hurry and have no time to change to Sin $.

Where got suka suka use one? Foreign currency is useless to the shops. They need to either change bk to SG dollars (which will incur FX charge) or need to bank into AUD foreign currency account.
