According to the that article the threat was not made because the Whirlpool user linked to Wikileaks but because they linked to an anti-abortion website which is also on the ACMA blacklist.

The article is worth a read -- there are suggestions that other countries (whose blacklists have been leaked) have pushed their censorship beyond their initial intents into avenues such as political discussions.
