Is there a table of warranty lengths by product published by the ACCC? If not it seems like a regulatory nightmare because neither consumers nor manufacturer knows what their rights/obligations are. At least with standard warranties you know what you're getting into.

There isn’t a definitive list, only vague guidelines: https://consumer.gov.au/sites/consumer/files/inline-files/ac...

The price you paid relative to comparable products factors into it - more expensive goods are expected to last longer.

If you and the manufacturer disagree, you can always take it to tribunal to get a decision (and manufacturers never want it to get there so are motivated to resolve your concern before it comes to that).
