Techly.com.au are leading with a story about Valve falling foul of Australian legislation:
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has commenced a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Australia against Valve Corporation, alleging that Valve made “false or misleading representations” regarding consumer guarantees by its popular online games service, Steam.
The ACCC’s case alleges that Valve has failed to comply with Australian Consumer Law by refusing to refund games purchased through the network, for any reason.
The very fact that they refuse to refund purchases "for any reason" contravenes Australian consumer protection legislation.

As long as the refund is done in full (money returned in the same amount as paid), the Australian law is satisfied.
