I am actually happy about this. The U.S. Supreme Court gave the media a hunting license with no bag limit with its Sulivan v. New York Times ruling. The truth is an absolute defense to defamation cases. If the article is factual what do they have to worry about?

Reread the article. The US company is being tried under Australian law, and our libel laws don't apply.
