You can only apply Australian consumer legislation if who you buy from is an Australian registered business and most of the sellers who sell things with unenforceable warranties are either private sellers or overseas companies.
As with anything purchased from anywhere then buyer beware is pertinent as is the saying if it is too good to be true then it probably is, in other words if you buy cheap you will get cheap.
