Australia Spam Act 2003
Part 2: Rules for sending commercial electronic messages – Australia Spam Act 2003

Australia Spam Act 2003 s16-9: s 16(9) Do not aid, induce or be knowingly concerned in unsolicited or non-existent-address sends

A person must not aid, abet, counsel or procure, induce by threats or promises, be knowingly concerned in or party to, or conspire in a breach of s 16(1) or s 16(6). This reaches the business that commissions a campaign, the agency or affiliate that runs it, and a list broker who knowingly supplies unconsented addresses; a carriage service provider does not breach it merely by carrying the message. Parallel ancillary prohibitions apply to the identification rule (s 17(5)), the unsubscribe rule (s 18(6)) and the harvesting rules (ss 20(5), 21(3), 22(3)). The s 16(9) breach is in the higher penalty tier.
