Now this happened yesterday (or possibly the day before, don't
remember sorry), more than 24 hours ago anyway, as well as just now.

Here's what happens:
$ uname -a
Linux x220a02 3.12-1-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 3.12.6-2
(2013-12-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Now these are the only two uncommented lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib

Now:
$ apt-get update

So any ideas why there is apparently a newer kernel, and it appears
that I have nothing newer to install, yet reportbug is telling me
there is a newer kernel.

$ dpkg -s linux-image-3.12-1-rt-amd64|grep -i version
Version: 3.12.6-2

Does this just mean that the Australian mirror has for some reason not
been updated?

How do I check the au.debian.org mirror last update date/time?

Should I be choosing a different mirror for sid in Australia?

TIA
Zenaan
