It is illegal for a retailer to sell x rated material over the counter in any state bar ACT and NT, but it is not illegal to purchase x rated material online or from shops in the ACT or NT.

It is illegal for any person to own or sell material that has been refused classification (RC) by the Office Of Film And Literature Classification.

From a story in 'The Australian' Newspaper:-

Federal law permits X-rated material; states and territories ban its sale – well, sort of – which has given rise to Canberra's thriving mail-order business.

X material censorship guidelines, are so strict Calvista takes three months to get a new DVD title approved and on the shelves. Bootleggers distribute imported unclassified (illegal) material direct from dock to retailers.

It's the same at the retail end, where OFLC-approved material often makes up only a small proportion of titles on sale.

And remember that everywhere except the ACT and Northern Territory it is technically illegal to sell such material.

Queensland has by far the most draconian laws, and outlaws the sale of any X material as well as banning the sale of category 1 or 2 classified literature (explicit magazines and books such as American Psycho).
