My guess is that they will let you out without the scan and then prohibit you from coming back.
Which would be stupid, really, because if the passenger is the (1 in a billion) Actual Bad Guy hiding something from the scanner, a prohibition on returning to Australia is probably not going to bother him.

In practice, such a rule only punishes the innocent person who opts out for other reasons, but has no ill intent.

So, yeah, this is probably what they'll do.
