One of the first things I would be doing is complain to the manufacturer (or manufacturers agent if it is an imported unit), it obviously doesn't comply with EMC regulations.
If you don't get any luck there, next stop is the ACMA and lodge a complaint.
In the meantime, ferrite beads on the mains lead as close as you can get them to the fridge (just like you do with anything else) to see if that makes a difference.
If that fails to do anything, send it back to the shop for a replacement (but take a portable rig with you and make them fire up the replacement first to see if it does the same thing).
With regards the first two lines - unless people start making more and more complaints about (genuine) interference problems, the less likely anything is going to change.
