Does Mountain dew contain caffeine in Australia?!


Question: Does Mountain dew contain caffeine in Australia?
I know that in America it does but I have heard they make a different non- caffinated version for other countries. I was also wondering if there was a law in Australia that makes manufacturers of drinks list whether or not they have caffeine or not in the ingredients
