Spam prosecution in Oz

The Australian Communications Authority is bringing its first prosecution under Australia's Spam Act against an alleged global spammer based in Perth.  This action follows the successful prosecution in the US of Jeremy Jaynes (apparently the world's 8th most prolific spammer), who in April was sentenced to 9 years in jail under the federal CAN-SPAM Act.  No such luck over here in the UK - not a single prosecution has been brought against spammers under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations since they came into force in 2003.
