There is already a filter in place. It was utilised most recently earlier this year. ASIC maintains a database of fraud/scam websites, and blocks them so as to minimise the impact on unsuspecting victims.
"The Federal Government has confirmed its financial regulator has started requiring Australian Internet service providers to block websites suspected of providing fraudulent financial opportunities, in a move which appears to also open the door for other government agencies to unilaterally block sites they deem questionable in their own portfolios."

And direct press release from ASIC: "ASIC has already blocked access to these websites."
