Agreed, the old '10 years' is a myth:

Under the Australian Consumer Law, certain consumer guarantees apply automatically, including that manufacturers will make repair facilities and spare parts available for a reasonable amount of time.

Manufacturers guarantee to take reasonable steps to provide spare parts and repair facilities - a place that can fix the consumer’s products - for a reasonable time after purchase.

If the manufacturer does not have an office in Australia, the importer takes on these responsibilities.

How much time is ‘reasonable’ will depend on the circumstances and the type of products. For instance it:

would be reasonable to expect that tyres for a new car will be available for a number of years after its purchase
may not be reasonable to expect that spare parts for an inexpensive children’s toy are available at all.
A manufacturer does not have to meet the guarantee on repairs and spare parts if they advised the consumer in writing, at or before the time of purchase, that repair facilities and spare parts would not be available, or would not be available after a specified time.
