"Police will allege in court the man was engaged in sexually explicit conversations about children with an adult male and discussed child pornography," NSW Police said in a statement.
Holy crap.... now just talking about it is illegal? Maybe I should close this thread, just in case.

Remember when that writer in Ohio was in trouble for writing erotic fiction about sex with children and peeps were divided over such a thing should be a crime? We had a thread here about it, but it was many years ago. Freedom of speech was the rallying cry, and I'm pretty sure everyone here was on board.

However, that's Australia. Their laws might be different.

Although, I think the discussion about child pornography is just being used to explain that this wasn't just some sort of mistake.
charged with using a carriage service for child pornography material.
he was later charged for allegedly sending child abuse material
So your speculation might be based on what's being reported rather than what he's actually been arrested for doing.
