Apple has a subsidiary incorporated in Australia, which is necessary to do business here. They can just shut up shop, and fire all their Australian employees (though Australian labour laws might make this difficult to do without being sued for unfair dismissal).

AFAIK unfair dismissal only applies if the business is remaining a going concern.

If you're shutting down the company, you might have to pay severance but that'd be it.
