 From listening to ACMA staffers answer questions in Senate Estimates,  
I was left with the distinct impression that the flushing of bad  
entries happened relatively infrequently.

If the leaked list is a superset of the ACMA blacklist -- and further  
news from Wikileaks overnight suggests that it is -- then new entries  
are added several times a month as they come up. Old entries are only  
checked... well... I don't recall a specific timeframe being given but  
it felt like a handful of times per year was what we were looking at.

Only an impression...
