No. You will find a koala in Australia, but you will not find a koala bear in Australia, because no such creature exists. Koalas are marsupials, and are not related to bears in any way.
There are many more native animals in Australia than just the koala. Also, the koala is not Australia's native animal emblem. Australia has no official faunal emblem.
No. Absolutely not.
The koala (which is not a bear at all) is now a protected animal, and people are not permitted to hunt or hurt them. The indigenous Australians (Aborigines) used to eat the koala, and Europeans killed them for their fur, not for food, in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
