Perhaps the request could be refined to redact the offensive material? I suspect the only part of the information that is offensive is the URLs and perhaps page titles (if captured) but you could still get the dates the notices were issued, the domain owners' names and contact details (which is public information anyway in DNS records except where a proxy registration service is used, which given the content type could be most), the issuing officer and other metadata.

Failing that, you could get aggregates — surely ACMA would have some sort of taxonomy for classifying links rather than a single list, so at least you'd get a breakdown beyond the basic sum total.
