It has been many years since the ban on alcohol advertising in France. How did nobody see this coming?

They try to get a bargaining position. France is staunch on this law. RL is a minor sport in France, I can't see the French administration make an exception for the Aussie team which would create a precedent for larger sport (foot, F1, RU...).
So they actually may try to influence the RFL to change the venue for England.

Anyway, nobody drinks VB in France, they just have to put lots of VB ads in Australia...

Nobody faced with any sort of choice drinks VB.

And why should they make an exeption, the law is the law, would it really hurt them to wear a jersey without a sponsor for that game?

Wigan turned this into a positive when they went to Perp, giving away their sponsorship to Whizzkids because they couldn't have Mecca Bingo advertised on french TV. I know Oz are small, but smaller than Wigan?

The way I see it Oz have no choice, sort their kit sponsorship of forfeit the match.
