It's in the article:
> "The ACMA will compile and manage a list of URLs of child abuse content that will include the appropriate subsection of the ACMA blacklist as well as child abuse URLs that are provided by reputable international organisations (to be blocked)," the spokesman said.
Obviously, we all know URL filtering is useless and that the serious offenders are using P2P or encrypted connections (SSH tunnels through foreign VPS's, for example). In fact, it's even mentioned in the article[1].
