Anti-Spam Law Down Under by Illiad 2006-11-19 12:55:59
Australia's Spam Act to become Law in April

"This means that commercial spam, sent by mobile phone as well as by e-mail, is not permitted to originate from Australia and is not allowed to be sent to Australian addresses, whatever their point of origin." ...

... However, he conceded that enforcement of the new law against overseas-based spammers would depend on the cooperation of other jurisdictions.

Which means it won't do squat. :-/ Park a server farm in some hole in central Africa or other undeveloped region and Bob's yer uncle.
