I want to know under what circumstances it's illegal to engage in text-messaging discussing sexual activity, or phonesex with people overseas, if they already at the relevant age of consent in Australia.

Is it illegal under Australian law even if the other person is of age of consent here, but is under 18? Does this depend on them meeting the age of consent in their own country as well?

I think any more than voice/text would be illegal due to pornography laws. Is that correct?
