It doesn't work as intended, because 01/02/2013 is interpreted as the 1st of February, not the 2nd of January. I will note that I'm assuming, here, that the intention is that a reasonable user will be able to interpret user date data readily.
This particular date format is not a "preference" here. YYYYMMDD vs DDMMYY would be a preference. The US's idiosyncratic way of presenting dates is just wrong in Australia, as it is everywhere else in the world apart from Belize. There is no reason that a user should be expected to somehow guess that a device bought in Australia from an Australian company and made by a Canadian/Japanese company would be presenting dates in US format.
