But that cuts both ways: no sports body wants to be dictated to by a mere government. Nevertheless, both government and sports body should be bound by the rule of law.

Lets just clarify what's gone on here, CA did not want to go to Zimbabwe but had little choice in the matter unless the federal goverment told them not to, which they did on the grounds that the tour would undermine Australia's diplomatic efforts in the region. The goverment will pay the $2million fine on their behalf.
As an Aussie, and for that matter a human being; I'm thrilled at the decision.
