The following comments are made based on the understanding of a layman and should not be used for anything at all, ever, under any circumstances. IANAL, or doctor or plumber. Consult a plumber, doctor or lawyer as appropriate before taking action based on any of my advice. No responsibility is accepted for anything. By reading the following comments you implicity and irrevocably agree not to take legal action against me with regards to said following comments. I don't have anything worth suing me for anyway.
The case in reference was a notable landmark case in that it determined that for purposes of australian litigation a publication can be determined to be published where it is read. IE if I publish <some stuff> on the intraweb, under australian law, legislation/litigation applicable to my copywrite, libel liability, etc, is determined based on where the article is read, not on where I was when I wrote said article. IOW the NY times is liable under Australian law for content published in New York, but read in Australia, as if the article was published in Australia. My understanding is that the referenced case had no bearing, directly or indirectly on consumer protection with internation purchases. Once again I would stress however that IANAL and assuming that I know what I'm talking about is a very silly idea.
