IANAL, but I have read some stuff written about this area.
In short, if you've got not presence in Australia, don't lose any sleep over this. US courts have a long history of throwing out decisions that violate public policy (i.e. free speech). For instance, see Matusevitch v. Telnikoff (702 A 2d 230 (Md CA 1997)). In this case an English defamation decision was thrown out in America.
