Well if that's the case I just wish my agent had known that instead of putting me through the nightmare of having to contact my ex. At least you have made others aware of it.
Why don't these big migration agency companies know this ruling?

I had permission and a Court Order under English law but it was not accepted under Australian law - according to Australia House solicitor - much to the disgust of my English and Australian lawyers.
I would go with whatever your agent says and get a Court Order

Sometimes a DIMIA officer does not apply the law correctly. In cases like this, it's best to refer matters to his immediate superior (if direct negotiations don't work) or directly to DIMIA in Canberra. This does require knowing the policies (and UK laws) inside out.
