In terms of tangible goods, I believe the law applies more to the distribution side of refused material. If you try to distribute it, you're breaking the law. It goes without saying that customs will confiscate refused material given the chance.
I believe the Government is still trying to set up internet filtering / censorship. The usual tactic is pretend to do nothing, wait for outrage to subside, pass bill on the sly. The implications of such will be extending the ban on refused material to the internet (in addition to a bunch of other 'unacceptable' content).
Naturally it's the Government's duty to deem what and what's not appropriate. Recently:
- [adult performers with] small breasts - Possibly banned from publication because they incite pedophilia.
- Female ejaculation - possibly banned for even more dumbfounding reason.
Not sure exactly what's been written into law, but this stuff is on the table every month.
