It surprises me about the hosting, since many adult companies operate in australia as firehorse said. Some of them do the billing for adult sites in Australia,there are content providers etc....what's wrong with hosting?

Hosting/Internet is dealt with by the same body that regulates our TV and follows the same standards. So you cant host X in Australia at all, and in that link Bawdy just posted, R is illegal also unless protected by age verification.
All the adult businesses in Aus I know of host in the US. Apart from the laws, it is really way to expensive to host - bandwidth is about US$75 a gb here from our major web hosts.
As a content provider, it is difficult as I technically cant mail someone a CD of the content. I really need to get it out of Aus and then deal with it, but as I said before, producing it is legal (in the states I shoot in atleast) - its just what you do with it after that you have to be careful about.
