After my phone call to the NSW AG today, this seems somewhat up in the
air. First, it no longer seems certain that receipt will be criminalised,
and second it seems very likely that enforcement will not be comprehensive,
but will be driven by a complaints mechanism.

Note that this is not to say that nothing can be done, but that resistance
by emailing RC material may not be in quite the right ouvre.
