STOP WHINING ABOUT UNITED STATES LAW IN THIS THREAD, IDIOTS.

Australia never was "safe" as you describe, >>1. The law clearly states that "the depiction of minors in sexual acts" as equally illegal as real children being molested for the camera. This law has been in place for decades.

Further more, Australia's constitution does not guarantee the freedom of speech, nor the right to privacy, the former is a de facto status, the latter is covered in the Privacy Act. There is no real argument as to why the fine is unconstitutional or illegal. Go read up on the Crimes Act and Customs Act. If you don't like the law and you are an Australian citizen, send a letter to your local MP.
