i'm an aussie and i've been looking at the ACCC website, it's a consumers website and there's some interesting things here...
Statutory conditions (goods)
The Trade Practices Act implies the following statutory conditions into consumer contracts:
* The goods must be of merchantable quality. That is, they must meet a basic level of quality and performance, taking into account their price and description. They also should be free from defects that were not obvious to you at the time of purchase.
* The goods must be fit for their purpose. That is, they should do what they are supposed to do and be suitable for any purpose that you might have made known to the supplier.
sorry there is a bit of reading but fascinating nonetheless... i feel it applies here
we should SUE!!!!!
