Measures to address regulation of sexual content in magazines 
Recommendation: That stronger limitations be imposed on the level of sexual themes and content 
allowed in magazines marketed to children. 
Adequacy of regulation of pornography 
The existing regulation of pornography is governed by the 
Broadcasting Act 1992 
(Cth). A range of 
material is deemed prohibited content under the Act, including content that is: 
i.
classified as MA15+ if commercially available (i.e. for a fee) but not behind an age restriction 
scheme 
ii.
classified as R18+ content if it is not behind an age restriction scheme 
iii.
classified as X18+ and
iv.
classified as RC. 
For a website to become prohibited content a number of other conditions must also be met. First the 
website must be hosted in Australia, second a complaint must be lodged to the Australian 
Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), and third, ACMA must then refer the website to the 
Classification Board for formal classification. Once it is deemed prohibited content by the classification 
board, ACMA is then able to issue the website owner with a take-down notice, direct the content 
provider to remove or restrict access to the content.
Complaints about content hosted overseas are assessed for classification by ACMA itself, or referred 
to the Classification Board when there is any doubt. Overseas-hosted prohibited content is added to 
the list which is provided to third party filter companies for use in content filtering systems. Overseas-
hosted prohibited content is therefore accessible unless a third party filter is installed. 
Additionally, the Australian Federal Police now compel ISPs, in accordance with their obligations under 
the 
Telecommunications Act 1997
, to block websites featuring child pornography and abuse, using a 
blacklist maintained by Interpol. Those attempting to access a blocked URL see a page giving 
information on why it was blocked. It should be noted, however, that the list only includes websites 
featuring content considered by Interpol to be ‘severe’, and the Interpol list only targets pornography 
involving children under the age of 13.
134
A large part of overseas-hosted pornography does not require age verification, which leaves Australian 
children potentially exposed to overseas hosted hard-core pornography, except where a filtering 
application is installed on a device or network. Yet only 13% of Australian households have internet 
filtering installed, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2010-11 Multipurpose Household 
Survey. The current regulatory framework, therefore, leaves the majority of children in Australia 
exposed to material that will cause significant damage to their healthy development.
