Last week here, an importer of a china make beer that had a green and yellow carton and an australian emblem,was fined for misrepresenting the product as australian.
I agree with the fine, but it's an interesting one (and is not a court ruling). The company that makes the beer *is* apparently 100% Australian owned, and has it made in China. The infringement notice was issued because the overall packaging gives the impression that *everything* about the beer is Australian, including where it is made.
This was an ACCC infringement notice with a fine - fighting their position is like fighting a traffic ticket - generally not worth it. But I would think they might have had a reasonable argument to fight it.
