In response to Crown successfully overturns Nuremberg war crimes principles in Australian court

Can an Australian soldier disregard orders if they believe that order to be unlawful?

After reading John Jiggens article about David McBride, I find myself confused, and so am looking for an answer from people who might know.

I was under the impression that an Australian soldier can disregard orders if they believe that order to be unlawful under international law?

Is this not exactly what McBride was doing? Or am I dreaming?
