</div>What's changed is that someone has realised that there doesn't need<br>
to be a special law for offences committed over the internet.<br>
<br>
It looks like Part 14 of Telecommunications Act 1997 already requires<br>
carriers to help enforcing the criminal law.<br>
<br>
311 Simplified outline<br>
<br>
The following is a simplified outline of this Part:<br>
• The ACMA, carriers and carriage service providers must do<br>
their best to prevent telecommunications networks and facilities<br>
from being used to commit offences.<br>
<br>
• The ACMA, carriers and carriage service providers must give<br>
the authorities such help as is reasonably necessary for the purposes<br>
of:<br>
<br>
(a) enforcing the criminal law and laws imposing pecuniary<br>
penalties; and<br>
(b) protecting the public revenue; and<br>
(c) safeguarding national security.<br>
<br>
• A carriage service provider may suspend the supply of a<br>
carriage service in an emergency if requested to do so by a senior<br>
police officer.<br>
