Who decides what is objectionable material?
Under the legislation, prohibited material is defined on the basis of the current national Classification Code (www.oflc.gov.au/resource.html?resource=62&filename=62.pdf), as RC and X rated material, and R rated material hosted in Australia that is not protected by adult verification procedures. The criteria of the Classification Code are detailed and specific and are generally accepted in the community. In relation to content subject to complaint hosted in Australia, the ABA is required to seek a classification from the National Classification Board.
