The original comment says "you have to give way to a car that is approaching or entering the roundabout on your right", whereas the rule is that you have to give way to all cars already on the roundabout, without regard to whether they approached from your right or left. If they got into the roundabout before you got there, you have to give way.

This sounds really weird, Sweden also has roundabouts but I do not have to yield to anyone on the roundabout, only the ones that I will interfere with? Whether someone enters after or before me is really of no consequence. I am basically not allowed to enter if I will obstructing someones path of travel, with the additional caveat that both lanes of a multi-lane roundabout has to be free, since anyone in the roundabout is free to switch lanes.

Yes, you just described how yielding works everywhere. You enter unless you will block someone. There is nowhere in the world that you yield to someone who isn't going to hit you, that's just called a stop sign.

In Australia you can not change lanes in a roundabout.

That's not true

edit: and NSW too, to make it clear this isn't just "oh WA"
