The Australian Government has implemented net censorship.
                     "8:15 a.m.  30.Jun.99.PDT
                     CANBERRA, Australia -- The political
                     leaders of this nation on Wednesday
                     passed into law one of the world's most
                     far-reaching online content censorship
                     regimes. 

                     The rules -- which take effect 1 January,
                     2000 -- enable Australian government
                     regulators to order domestic Internet
                     service providers (ISPs) to take down
                     indecent or offensive Web sites housed
                     on their servers, and also require they
                     block access to certain domestic or
                     overseas-based content."

see http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/20499.html

Operators of Apache servers might want to add a few lines to 
access.conf...

<Directory /path/to/webdocs>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from gov.au
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.acme.com/403aust.html
</Directory>

The file 403aust.html may look like this:

<html>
<head><title>Australia Net Censorship</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<font color="red">
<p>
<br>
<p>
<center>
<h1>
Forbidden to GOV.AU!!<p><br><p>
<font color="white">
Australia Net Censorship<p>
</h1>
<h3>
You have arrived here because you come from a GOV.AU domain.<br>
Since you censor others, you are not welcome here.<br>
Go away.
</h3>
</center>
</body>
</html>

The Australian EFF likely has a better model for the "forbidden" page...
