In 2018 while at baggage claim, I noticed signs about the new sexual offence laws — with a unique legal characteristic: these are extra-territorial crimes, i.e. you can break an Australian law for actions taken while entirely outside the jurisdiction, punishable when you return ("welcome home!")
While pondering the historic nature of this, who should wander by with his carry-on bags but Derryn Hinch (1944-today), Senator for only 2016-2019, but had a lot to do with this 👍

Up to 25 years' jail for overseas child sex offences and child abuse material offences. (logo for Australian Border Force) (logo for AFP, Australian Federal Police)
