Australian Censorship Legislation
danny writes: "Legislation is before the New South Wales (Australia) state parliament that would make it
a criminal offense to publish material unsuitable
for children online. Other states will be passing similar laws,
as this is part of a uniform national approach. So please
help us stop this! Note: earlier Federal legislation in Australia covered Internet Service Providers, not end-users. But this law follows that in attempting to directly transfer the film censorship system to the Net - one has to wonder how many of the politicians involved actually use the Net."
oz while you still can, before the jack-booted stormtroopers come and send you to the camps. You're all doomed... DOOOOOOOOOOMED
All your fancy, picturesque beaches, blonde women, and crazy dingos can't even save you now
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED
your an idiot.
parents are responsible for their children.
Censorship is unenforcable.... maybe you want prohibition back as well ?
You think if a problem is swept under the carpet it goes away ? Its just a way to allow politicians to blame someone else without having to understand what they are doing.
Its laws like that that fuck up society, and attitudes like yours dont help
I don't have kids nor do I want any. I prefer casual sex and porn and I have every right to do so.
