IMO, the last Aussie try should have been no try, touch-in-goal.
LAW 22.12 BALL OR PLAYER TOUCHING A FLAG OR FLAG (CORNER) POST
If the ball or a player carrying the ball touches a flag or a flag (corner) post at the intersection of the touch-in-goal lines and the goal lines or at the intersection of the touchin-goal lines and the dead ball lines without otherwise being in touch or touch-in-goal the ball is not out of play unless it is first grounded against a flag post.

The ball touches the corner post fractionally before being grounded on the goal-line.
Now, if that does not meet the description of first grounded against a flag post then I would like someone to explain to me what does?
