Quite some time ago we were told that we would soon be getting data from the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia. So far all the data has been from the Aricibo Radio Telescope but is only data "seen" from the northern hemisphere ! Most of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, can only be seen from the Southern Hemisphere and there is a good chance that ET may be "lurking there".

The last I heard from the Berkeley Team that there was a problem with the hardware/software because the Parkes Telescope can observe 15 different places in the sky at once.

Have a look at the website of the Parkes telescope.
I don't think that they have already started. A least I couldn't find hints the project is already active.

Running southern-sky data from Parkes through SETI@home isn't happening yet; many other things are in the pipeline ahead of this (a pretty clogged pipeline apparently), and if funding doesn't show up, it may never happen at all. The last time I heard from Frank Stootman at Parkes, well over a year ago, he said all work on this project had stopped.

Meanwhile, Parkes's own Southern SERENDIP project is still looking for signals; see
