474.17Using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence

(1)A person is guilty of an offence if:

(a)the person uses a carriage service; and

(b)the person does so in a way (whether by the method of use or the content of a communication, or both) that reasonable persons would regard as being, in all the circumstances, menacing, harassing or offensive.

Penalty:Imprisonment for 3 years.

Causing offence
Under existing section 85ZE of the Crimes Act, the offence consisting of 'offensive' use of a telecommunications service does not apply to 'use of a carriage service to carry Internet content'.⁽³³⁾ In contrast, the offence inproposed section 474.17 will apply to any use of a 'carriage service', including the internet.
Proposed section 473.4 states that in deciding whether reasonable persons would regard a particular use of a telecommunications/carriage service as 'offensive', a court is to consider:

(a) the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults; and

(b) the literary, artistic or educational merit (if any) of the material; and

(c) the general character of the material (including whether it is of a medical, legal or scientific character)
