René Millman writes on SC Magazine Online:

The Western Australia-based spammer, Wayne Mansfield, and his company Clarity1, were found to have illegally sent more than 56 million spam messages to email addresses around the world during the twelve months since the Act was introduced in April 2004.
In April 2005, authorities in Australia raided offices in Perth, during which the contents of computer hard disks and other material were seized. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) brought the case against Mansfield.
