Wouldn't this type of content already be "refused classification" thus disallowed to be broadcast?

A website is not a broadcast. So, it can (and would) disallow the content from being broadcast on TV. But not from a webpage.

While we are at discussing the idea, it kinda won't work. You can block all of the Internet or none of the Internet. You can't block some of the Internet. If you 'block' a site from Australia, people can and will simply VPN to another country and access it there.

Oh, I'm well aware of the technical impossibility. I meant legally no one in Australia would be allowed to publish it, so a ban is moot. If it's likely to be RC for a regular broadcaster, it can't be published online, either.

But then it isn't Australia's problem, as they are technically accesising internet from another country.
