Our government doesn't like porn that much, although you can get hardcore in the A.C.T. (Australian Capital Territory) and the Northern Territory. But its effectively banned in the six states. Of course you can get regular porn (Penthouse, Hustler) anywhere and there are sex shops in all major centres.

But when it comes to hosting porn - it's simply not allowed. All Aussie webmasters host offshore because we have to. Sometimes this country still reeks of the prudishness of our Mother Country, England. And I fucking hate this aspect of our culture. But you can't beat the lifestyle down here so I'm staying as long as I can continue to host elsewhere in the world.
Aussies host in other countries because it's cheaper, not so much because porn is illegal in Australia.
