Not only that but the NSW government has no control over 99.99% of it.
All their efforts are not going to protect children in the slightest
(unless they manage to get NSW cut off from the Internet entirely).  It
may be better stressing this than the technical problems with
enforcement -- I'd suggest avoiding any mention of cryptography, lest
it cause peoples eyes to glaze over.  (Yes, there's going to be a fight
over that one too sometime, but it's best not to confuse people.)
