I recommend you fight the ticket. Instructions on how to do so will be written on the back of the ticket.
The fact the device did not work in Australia, and that you brought it to warn you of road works delays, may be a viable defence.
Obviously you should have a lawyer to assist you with this, but depending on where in Australia you reside I may be able to recommend a good solicitor who could help. Just let me know if you're interested.
If you're satisfied with the results of your question, then I'll ask you to please provide positive feedback so that I will get credit for the time spent on your question.
