To have jurisdiction over something, you need to have enforcement power there. The Australian court can make any claims they like, fine EFF, even charge its officers with contempt of court - but I don't see how this could possibly be enforced.

EFF officers won't be able to vacation in Australia.

Couldn’t they just tell Australien ISP to block their IPs?

Sure. But that's enforcement against the ISPs, not EFF itself.
