As of late they have been cracking down on pirating heavily here in Australia, handing out $7000 fees and complete disconnection from your ISP to those who upload (seed) torrents.

You might say that "there's always streaming" and there is if you enjoy low quality (that is, if you can manage to load it in the first place with our laughable Internet speeds). Otherwise you'll have to wait a month even when using an overpriced paid TV subscription.

The whole situation here is honestly laughable...

Invest on VPN service

I know that such a thing would be possible, however if the program is able to get around the VPN then that's a hefty fine I've got to pay - something I don't think I would really like to risk.

On top of that, they're targetting those who seed, so unless you can turn that off I'm afraid that it would still be pretty useless as they could say you're seeding it via the VPN.

look to vpns and proxys for torrents, but i suspect that if you're not with a major Internet provider u can fly under the radar

I'm with one of the major ones and it was said that it's the little ones that are being targetted because they don't have nearly enough money to go against the movie companies in court.

Others cant see what is going on with your network traffic in a VPN tunnel whatever it is, your PC to that server. You will be connected to Internet from another place which has VPN server. Even if they track from the other end, VPN providers likely outside your countries jurisdiction plus there are many VPN providers who don't log user activity.
