I have a post-judgment debt that has remained unpaid for 5 years. Can I get compound interest? I am confused with how the old law on simple interest works with today’s commercial reality....

Simply put: No. This isn't about 'commercial reality'. It's set in accordance with the manner provided by law - namely section 101 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 (NSW) in your case.

Read here (Working out post-judgment interest) and here (Interest rates).) for example.
