I am assuming that the Aussies have always had a more relaxed attitude towards
sex and frontal nudity on broadcast TV? I was quite surprised to learn that the
Underbelly series which DirecTV picked up for their 101 channel were originally made
for broadcast. They are certainly not shy about the R-rated content, and even
DirecTV would not run them until after 10PM.
 
Though along the same token, in this schedule, the much more tamer "Medical Center" was classified as "Adults Only", while "Number 96" carried no rating.

Are we talking both female & male nudity or just female? I have heard in the past that female nudity is actually way more accepted in a lot of places on TV and in films including down under than male nudity is and that this "rule" even extends to nude beaches as a woman can go totally nude but a man doing the same could still get arrested. Oddly when HBO was airing OZ years ago, I can remember the complaints. Not about the very graphic violence that was seen on the show but against Chris Meloni's full frontal nude shower scenes. I guess a lot of people are scared of Mr. Penis ;D
 
The lead male character in Underbelly was subject to some very thorough onscreen nudity
that included everything except Mr. Winkie. Of course he was still badly outgunned by lots
and lots and lots of female nudity (which did not go unappreciated...) ;D

Number 96?

I presume that is the same as a "69", but in the Southern Hemisphere? :D
