Does the warranty in Australia deal with the manufacturer, or is it related to the reseller/point of sale?
There are similar laws in the EU in various implementations, but most of them make the party that sold it the one to warrant the product, and the manufacturer isn't really involved (unless the manufacturer is the one that sold it).
Point of sale. Although, if I'm getting into the weeds, I should probably use the terminology "consumer rights and guarantees" rather than warranty, since I believe that's how we make the distinction locally.
What's actually really interesting is the same guarantees apply even if the item is a gift[1].
