Internet filters in Australia blocked a recipe site I use

I was reading about how Australian internet filters block stuff like gambling and some health sites, and then I saw a post from a food blogger there saying her recipe page got flagged by mistake. It made me wonder how many innocent sites get caught in those nets, and if that kind of over-blocking is worse than the stuff they're trying to stop. Has anyone else run into a legit site being banned somewhere for no real reason?

Have you ever tried reporting one of those false blocks to see how long it actually takes to get fixed? I remember reading that some sites stay flagged for months just because nobody bothers to appeal, which kind of makes the whole filter feel like a bigger headache than the problem it solves.
