So if they are being recalled Aust wide and NONE of them meet code or whatever ..then regardless of proof of purchase you should be entitled to a refund.
Maybe they should have tested the units before allowing xyz company to sell thousands of them and make a profit from selling them ..then expect that we wear the cost of throwing it out after they finally get around to doing their regulatory job.
They should force every store that ever sold them to put a post on their website and email every person on their mailing list to report the issue,
Me personally i'll keep using mine ..and yes if I blow myself up I will only have myself to blame as NSW Govt is now trying to save my life after how many years ... 
Bit rich that we wear the cost of throwing them out ..I own 5 of them.

Q, So if they are being recalled Aust wide and NONE of them meet code or whatever ..then regardless of proof of purchase you should be entitled to a refund.
A, If you can prove that you purchased the item from supplier ten you should get refund, you may be better chasing it via manufacturer who ultimately foot any recall cost. but for $20 is the effort worth it.
Q, Maybe they should have tested the units before allowing xyz company to sell thousands of them and make a profit from selling them ..then expect that we wear the cost of throwing it out after they finally get around to doing their regulatory job.
A, The regulatory job was done, all gas products are given an approval via a private certifying body [AGA or similar], the state regulator only ensures products for sale have appropriate approval as issued by these approval bodies which was the case with these cookers having an approval, mine being AGA. If a product comes to the regulators attention regarding safety or performance then at that point they take appropriate measures. In this case Fair Trading would have arranged further testing or considered evidence of explosion before issuing this notice.
Q, They should force every store that ever sold them to put a post on their website and email every person on their mailing list to report the issue,
A, typically it is what happens
Q, Me personally i'll keep using mine ..and yes if I blow myself up I will only have myself to blame as NSW Govt is now trying to save my life after how many years ...
A, But you maybe using it around other people including you own family who's life you could be at risk of injury or death.
Q, Bit rich that we wear the cost of throwing them out ..I own 5 of them.
A, see your point above re refund.
