The article makes it pretty clear that Australian Government has has been blocking sites, "The ‘voluntary’ filter only blocks a set of sites which international policing agency Interpol has verified contain “worst of the worst” child pornography "..."Under the Act, the Australian Federal Police is allowed to issue notices to telcos asking for reasonable assistance in upholding the law. It is believed the AFP has issued such notices to Telstra and Optus to ask them to filter the Interpol blacklist of sites."
Notice the quotes around voluntary. Do you really think Telstra and Optus are going to refuse a request to block child porn sites from the Australian Government?

Again it must be made clear that the Interpol filter the police demanded is DNS based, the filtering ASIC demanded to shut down one unlicensed financial advisor is IP based.
