Australia seems to have done a major about-face on this.  You can now 
buy unpasteurised, unhomogenised milk in supermarkets.  Can't imagine 
why you'd want to unless you were making cheese.  Then again, I 
mentioned this to some friends and they talked about not wanting 
"chemicals" until I explained exactly what these two processes actually 
are.

They're allowing imports of _some_ unpasteurised cheeses, though the 
last two batches of Rochefort have been sent back due to some kind of 
contamination.  Haven't seen any home-grown unpasteurised cheeses 
though, so not sure if we're allowed make it.
