Yeah actually that's exactly what the law says. Here's a link to the Australian government website summarizing the law: https://www.ag.gov.au/crime/publications/abhorrent-violent-material-act-fact-sheet
They explain what the definition of abhorrent content is:
"Abhorrent violent material is limited to very specific categories of the most egregious, violent audio, visual or audio-visual material produced by a perpetrator or their accomplice. The definition includes video, still images (including a series of still images) and audio recordings.
It must stream or record conduct where a person engages in a terrorist act (involving serious physical harm or death of another person), murders or attempts to murder another person, tortures another person, rapes another person or kidnaps another person (where the kidnapping involves violence or the threat of violence). This conduct is referred to as ‘abhorrent violent conduct’. The definition does not include material recording animated, re-enacted or fictionalised conduct."
I still don't agree with the law but this isn't about the ability to criticize a government at all.
