I live in China (but am from Australia), and things are not blocked at the isp's they are redirected at the gateway routers and get pointed to null (apparently). they have to be serious for this to occur.
Australia is a great country but freedom of speech and freedom of expression seem to have been lost in the battle for political conservatism on an extreme scale.
Most Australian ISP's have problems keeping their mailservers going, blocking and filtering of content is going to make access slower and create a nightmare of administration for ISP's. making them uncompetitive (or more uncompetitive).
This would probably take Australia back to the dark ages with dialup/broadband, to approxiamatly where New Zealand is now (by not allowing LLU).
