Consumer law

This one is for for any legal-eagles out there.

You order and item and are given an invoice with a final price and deposit amount.
You pay the deposit
You wait
You wait some more.
Item arrives.
Vendor wants to increase the price but there were no provisions or mention for this on the invoice. (e.g. exchange rate variation)

Can you insist on supply at the invoiced price?
Can the vendor cancel the sale if you don't want to pay more than the invoice?
Can you insist on a deposit refund plus interest?

Australian consumer law I find a little vague on the above, but maybe I'm
being obtuse....hence a learned opinion is most welcome.
