Fairly par for the course in Australia. The problem is some of the "experts" and legislators seem to believe that everything is just as simple as waving your hand and suddenly the printer can determine what is and isn't a firearm part and block it. They pulled the exact same thing with the under 16 social media ban.

Interestingly, accessing files via a carriage service is already federally illegal in Australia, so downloading stuff off odysee without the correct licensing can land you 5 years jail. In addition to this each state also has its own anti 3d printed firearm legislation, South Australia just made possession illegal yesterday. Much like in the US, each state also implements their legislation differently, resulting in weird scenarios where something is completely legal in one, but 5 years prison in another.
