Not off topic at all. Amazon sells books into Australia, ergo, Australian laws come into play.
The Government doesnt currently censor the internet btw, it is just a plan, and like all plans made by the current Government, it aint going to happen! And really, if you need to exagerate the extent of the Government's planned restrictions on the Internet, and relate it to how Australia deals with Censorship matters with regard to pedophilic activity, violent crimes and acts of terrorism, well, I dunno, I'm not convinced.
