Seems possible this is the result of wikileaks publishing the ACMA  
list which included links to sites with child pornography:

Conroy admits to the dentist's website being on the list:

> DESPITE his denial last week, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy  
> claims the leaked website blacklists published on Wikleaks now  
> closely resemble the Government watchdog's official list.
>
> Three lists thought to be from the Australian Communications and  
> Media Authority (ACMA) were published online over the past seven days.
>
> Senator Conroy admitted that the latest list, dated March 18th,  
> "seemed to be close" to ACMA's current blacklist.
>
> He had previously denied the first leak, dated August 6th, was from  
> ACMA - since the number of entries didn't match up.
>
> "This is not the ACMA blacklist," Senator Conroy said last week.
>
> "The published list purports to be current at 6 August 2008 and  
> apparently contains approximately 2400 URLs whereas the ACMA  
> blacklist for the same date contained 1061 URLs."
>
> The latest leak claims to show the data was "cleaned up" after media  
> reports on innocent content in the first list leaked last week.
>
> Each leak contained thousands of links to apparently illegal child  
> pornography websites, but a few entries listed innocent content -  
> including pages from Wikipedia, YouTube, and a local dentist.
>
> Senator Conroy said the dentist's website, which was hacked a few  
> years ago, would have been added by a third-party vendor which  
> leaked the list.
>
> “Does the (leaked blacklist) mean we are going to stop blocking  
> access to the sites? No. People can continue to put up the lists if  
> they are proud to do that,” he told a press conference in Sydney  
> today.
>
> “It is completely untrue that the leaked blacklist contains  
> political content. This is a list which contains sites that promote  
> incest, rape, child pornography and child abuse."
>
> The watchdog's blacklist is the basis of Government plans for nation- 
> wide compulsory web filtering.
>
> It is only intended to be seen by ACMA and a small number of  
> approved filter vendors.
>
> ACMA has previously stated that the publication of its blacklist  
> would jeopardise the Government's policy on web filtering.
