Can someone confirm that this actually works? Seems like a pretty weak attempt at a block if true. I think the real problem is them sniffing your traffic.

Confirm, it's just a DNS block like previous attempts by the AU Gov to block stuff.
If you're on a Apple device you probably need to use VPN to specify an alternate DNS and either route your traffic through that VPN as well or just use it for DNS.
So it is being blocked at ISP level, and it's up to them how they implement the block. For now, they've chosen DNS blocking, which is of course easy to work around.
Here's hoping the block encourages everyday citizens to be take technical measures to evade not just the block but the censorship.
