A public notice in todays SMH:

ILLEGAL CONNECTION OF DATA EQUIPMENT

[..snip..]

The ACA is aware of reports that a range of equipment generically known 
as digital subscriber line or xDSL equipment is in use. The ACA intends 
to undertake audits of suppliers and users to ascertain the compliance 
status of this equipment. Manufacturers, importers or users who fail to 
follow the requirements could face penalties under the Telecommunications 
Act 1997.

[...]

The ACA is aiming to remedy any current breach situations by the issue of 
time-limited connection permits to individual users.

For further information please contact Peter joynson at the ACA.
