Registered child sex offenders in Australia will be stuck in a giant penal colony (known as Australia) under a proposed law:
Australia's estimated 20,000 registered child sex offenders would lose their passports under a new law that government officials say is aimed at preventing convicted pedophiles from victimizing children overseas. Officials call the proposal a "world first" in the fight against child sex tourism.
"This new legislation represents the toughest crackdown on child sex tourism by any government, anywhere," Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said, adding that Australia is "determined to prevent the sexual exploitation of vulnerable young children overseas."

I don't think they are grounded, per se. Within the penal colony they can still make limited flights which don't require a passport. The colony is protected by a moat, and they must remain within the area enclosed by the moat.
Can't corrupt local police also make the necessary accusations to get someone grounded but not-grounded? Can't corrupt police argue that since you are not technically grounded no actual harm was done if the accusation is later proven false (after expenditure of significant time and money)?
