That's from way back in March and lists the websites ISPs voluntarily blocked back then.. NZ contacted multiple police departments and politicians around the world asking if they could assist in stopping the spread of the video. There's a copy of the letter somewhere on here.
The AFP didn't direct ISPs to block those sites, it asked them to - as the Optus email says. Some did and some didn't. Part of the reason ISPs were nervous about it was because those requests weren't backed up with legal authority - that didn't exist until the Criminal Code Amendment (Sharing of Abhorrent Violent Material) Bill 2019 was passed in April and no formal directives were issued until September.

Looks like Venezuela and China aren't the only places anymore that are in dire need of DNS proxies.
Australia was supposed to ban 4chan a decade ago.
There's a secret list of illegal or immoral websites that Australian sites can't link to unless they like getting fined $10,000 per day. The shitlist got wikileak'd in 2009. Aside from a bunch of fetish porn and illegal shit, ED, 4chan and a couple other chans are on there.
Around the same time there was a proposed national internet filter with two levels: one family friendly level that could be opted out of(porn loicense), and one forced filter that'd block all of the sites on the shitlist and more. With internet porn in jeopardy, people cared for a minute. Millions of dollaridoos were spent trying to make the filter work good, but it was a logistical nightmare, hoes were mad and it kinda just disappeared.
Australia's had really harsh laws surrounding internet content for decades, it's just that they were awkward to do anything with so nobody cared. Now it keeps getting worse.

I'm starting to think that this is all bark and no bite - just stuff for the population to consume to 'feel safe'. It's the 22nd already, and KF is yet to be banned by the ISPs who led the charge in banning KF, 4Chan, etc. after Christchurch. The ban only got a passing mention on SBS' website - not even the mainstream media covered it.
That claim about '80-90%' of our international students being Chinese is false, though. 27% of international students are Chinese (they make up the majority of them), and 15% are Indian (we're getting more international students from India, with a 32% increase unlike the 3% increase from China).
The real problem with Asian international students in Australian Unis is that they're being admitted without any consideration of their English ability, which furthers the belief that Unis only see them as cash cows. Bilingual students have been forced to teach course content to them due to international students' English ability not being adequate enough to help them get through the course - something Unis are willingly turning a blind eye to.
From anecdotal experience, the vast majority of Chinese-Australians and Asian-Australians decry the CCP's influence over the Chinese diaspora in Australia, since they have less to lose than their parents and relatives.
I used to go to primary school in one of the most Chinese/Korean dominated cities in the state. We had mandatory mandarin classes until grade 4, and we mostly just learned; calligraphy, pronouncing a phrases and words, some mythology, and C-pop. Given the local community, I doubt it was influenced by the CCP, unlike the Confucious Institute-run programs. If anything, the entire place was more influenced by coaching colleges.

Don't they also have pretty harsh video game laws? I heard it is/was technically literally illegal for kids to play their equivalent of M-rated games, forced Fallout to change the name of beer items, banned an early 2000's Xbox game for having you spraypaint stuff (wasn't Jet Set Radio), etc.
Not really laws. It's the classification board who's behind that. They've rated some R-rated games (in the US) as MA15+ in Australia. R-18+ is a rather new classification, only being introduced for videogames in 2012. Before that, lots of stuff was censored/banned that the classification board considered as 'adult content'.
We still have things censored by them, but compared to the past, it's significantly less. The banning of certain games that contain 'references to drugs' instead of just listing them as R-18 (which is the purpose of the classification) strikes me as stupid, considering the equivalent of it in film is allowed in the country. IIRC The Greens are trying to initiate reform on that front.

If I were a zombie dog, I'd move the thread containing the Christchurch video into Beauty Parlor for a week and rename the thread "abbo lolita cosplay theater community" and see if the block gets lifted. Plan B: actually take it down for a week, alert the AUS government and get their formal response back in writing, then re-host it. Repeat on-and-off as many times as possible for funny legal letters.
Once a game's been refused classification(RC), it's illegal to sell or advertise in Australia. The punishment and level of restriction varies depending on the state though. WA makes it illegal to possess.
Internet content's judged against the National Classification Code too, it's just more complicated to enforce because internet.
The Christchurch content's a whole other beast. It's an amendment to the Federal Criminal Code Act. The fine for failure to remove's up to 2 million for an individual or 3 years jail time, the reasonable removal time is basically however long the authority decides, maybe a week, maybe an hour. The Amendment apparently makes it possible to go after a foreign website for failing to remove content accessible to Australians as long as the Attorney-General signs off on it. No idea how that'd work out in practice, but I'm guessing having the website blocked kinda protects Kiwifarms from getting a potentially unenforceable, up to 20 million dollar business fine? Idk. 2019 Sharing of Abhorrent Violent Material Act Fact Sheet If you're into that sort of thing.
So basically Null should not do any travel to Australia any time soon.
Null barely travels outside his mother's basement, he'll be fine.
this shouldn't even be a blip on the radar of any kiwifarm users in Australia, everyone should be using their own dns servers or dns servers that are hosted outside of Ausfalia
loads of sites are blocked already going back years (female squirting porn illegal, small tit porn illegal, ED abo article taken to human rights tribunal and won got it censored off the net)
1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 dns for cloudflare will unblock most blocks in the country (torrents, porn, kiwifarms) but then your archive sites wont work as cloudflare dont like them.... you can set static routes for them but its a pain. I wouldnt use google anything

Australia, a place where the most damming thing to their ecosystem is bunnies, a fine place that lost the great emu war and also bans a farm of flightless birds because of some past issues like an ex girlfriend they don't want to get brought up. It's like if the US tried to censor 9/11. We all know it happened, what's the point in trying to cover it up? I don't understand that.
Is consensual rape porn illegal as well?
Is consensual rape porn illegal as well?
it actually sparked Operation Titstorm by a bunch of autists running LOIC
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_2010_Australian_cyberattacks
for consensual rape, people go to jail for having cartoon Simpsons porn.... so what would you guess
The attack began as a protest responding to a plan by Australian Telecommunications Minister Stephen Conroy that would require internet service providers to block Australian users from accessing illegal and what the government deemed as "unwanted" content.[1] Websites to be blocked feature pornography showing rape, bestiality, child sex abuse, small-breasted women (who may appear under the legal age), and female ejaculation. Drawn depictions of such acts are included in the proposal.[2] The proposed filter also includes gambling sites along with others showing drug use.[3] A leaked version of the proposed blacklist (also referred to as the "refused classification" or "RC" list) also showed sites that did not include adult content.
Whatever the dipshits did to block it here in Aus, it didn't work. I'm still here.
Can confirm, this place is a shithole.

Go to Australia, get bitten by a giant deadly spider when having a crap. Not worth.
What happens if an Aussie tries to access Kiwifarms? Do they get a lulzy "this site is not trusted" page like they have on sites blocked in the united arab emirates?
Someone should start a page on the darkweb archiving every bullshit thing that's being censored.

Well oddly KF isn’t blocked for me or the other posters in here. The screen which usually should appear isn’t lulzy but professional. The copyright bans (which are pursued by the companies who own the copyright) usually just have a matter-of-fact explanation of why it’s blocked in bold, large, and centred text. I think the screen for blocks ordered for cyber-safety might be different with a Federal seal, because I recall seeing the seal once. I can’t find the block screen as most browsers interpret it lacking the certificates as malicious.
