Question for "It's about FREEDOM, stupid" about Internet censorship?

In this thread, you said this:

"You think you are free? You have no idea how much you don't know because your country censors your internet."

As an Australian, this concerns me and I'd like to check the extent of it. Would you please give me the urls of any sites that you believe are blocked by the Australian government. If I can't access them, I'll have evidence to ask my local member of parliament about.

I'm asking on here because you have no email address listed. If anyone else has evidence of such censorship in Australia, I'd like to know about it.

Update:

@Scarlet: Why would I go to a wifi hotspot when I have Internet access at home? As for your "anything but" list, well I've accessed Stormfront and NewNation (for information, not because I agree with them), and they don't belong on that list.

Update 2:

@Orange evil. Thanks for that, but the answer I'm quoting seemed to suggest political censorship, which is what I was particularly interested in. For what it's worth I see no reason to censor sex as long as everyone concerned is adult and consenting.

Update 3:

I understand blocking bestiality, since the act is illegal here.

    The ACMA does filter, but they refuse to publish the list. So you only know when you encountered a website that's been blocked. A lot of it is child pornography, as you might suspect, but some of it is bestiality or other types of sex or violence others deem offensive, even if no crime has taken place.
