Looking at WestNet's terms and conditions, it does appear that it only
allows a connection to be shared on a single premise:

http://www.westnet.com.au/products/signup/terms/general.shtm
(section 2.6)

This appears to be atypical for Perth ISPs, and I must say that I
wouldn't be happy about it.  I have, in the past, shared my connection
with neighbours (using pre-wireless, big ol' cable technology).  I can't
imagine why any ISP would restrict its customers in that way.  If you
want to share your connection, choose an alternate ISP that doesn't
restrict you in that manner.

WestNet, are you listening?  Your terms and conditions are overly
restrictive (and linux people tend not to like restrictions  :)
