Hi,
Some publicity on a change in consumer law since Jan 2011:

Commonwealth law has superseded parts of State laws, and there will be joint administration. Here is Fair Trading NSW on it:

I note with interest that astro gear that is costly, and would reasonably be expected to last significantly longer than a year, might have to be covered for repair or replacement by the seller for a longer period. As before, the seller cannot avoid this by referring the buyer to a manufacturer or wholesaler. The final decision in any dispute will be up to a State Tribunal or the courts.
