Come, come, they're being a trifle unfair:

  Senator Alston who has famously attempted to outlaw email, gambling
  and any adult content over the Internet was reported to be
  "reluctant" to continue as IT minister after the Liberal Party won a
  third election.

Everybody knows that they only outlawed porn via the web, not via
Email.  There is no law in Australia prohibiting transfer of porn via
Email.
