I'm afraid you are sadly mistaken Franz, Australia is paradise!!!

Here the recommended guidelines for pregnant women are 2mSv to the abdomen
of the woman and 1/20 of an ALI intake throughout the course of the
pregnancy once it is declared. 

As far as LAW goes, I do not believe the word "pregnant" is contained within
the relevant legislation in this state (Queensland) - but I could be wrong!!
