That's right. It only stops Australians gambling on Australian servers. We can
still gamble on international servers, and international users can still gamble
on Australian servers. The best exlaination I can think of is that the
"reputable people" that own the local casinos exerted a little pressure on
gutless Johnny Howard and his clueless cabinet.

"Your country sucks. Our national leader is a hot chick! so nyeer!" ;)
