Australian Visitors Must Declare Illegal Porn To Customs Officers

Australian Justice Minister Brendan O'Connor has advised visitors to take a better safe than sorry policy when it comes to their porn stashes, and declare all porn that they think might be illegal with customs officers. From the article: "The government said it changed the wording on passenger arrival cards after becoming aware of confusion among travellers about what pornography to declare. 'People have a right to privacy and while some pornography is legal and does not need to be disclosed, all travellers should be aware that certain types of pornography are illegal and must be declared to customs,' Mr O'Connor said."

What????

[gagol]

Next thing, they will want you to declare the illegal drugs you carry...

Re:What????

[zill]

No, you have to decleare all the drugs you carry.

After sampling each one, their customs officer will tell you which ones are illegal.

[HAKdragon]

The same kind who need to get a brain?

They are welcome to my epilepsy medication but I don't think they will enjoy not being able to stand up for the next twelve hours.

Yes office,

He has to declare his illegal porn as well.

> The girl is moot, she's being paid for it, she doesn't have to enjoy it. But think of the dog!

Girls, dogs, sex, porn...

and now you've dragged Moot into this. I've got a bad feeling about this!

I remember seeing a sex therapist talk about how he was invited to discuss beastiality on a talk show of some kind, and there was a guest who had "married his horse." One of the points the guest tried to explain is that, if a horse didn't consent, you'd be dead.

(Perhaps more interestingly, the punchline of his story was that he asked the guest if it was a female horse, and the male guest was extremely offended at the suggestion that he might have been gay.)

I don't know about you, but I don't want to eat any adolescent animals that have been running around licking people's privates.

As the public service ads inform us: "Baaaahahah means no."

Re:Yes office,

So, mister Parrot, choose wisely now... Would you rather be eaten or will you bend over?

If you were a Praying Mantis you wouldn't have to decide between one or the other.

No, it's perfectly okay. Moot wishes to be teh little girl, so that counts as consent.

I think GP's point is that we don't routinely butcher 14 year olds. Though the idea is intriguing.

This is slashdot...he hasn't. Just read the wikipedia entry on it.

It's a safe bet that sheep-shagging smut is OK

[Anonymous Coward]

Just saying.

Glad to comply

[hansamurai]

Is there some kind of catalog or web site I can browse to see examples of what's legal and not?

Re:Glad to comply

[zill]

www.australia.gov.au

...and not?

Pretty much everything else on the internet.

I'm pretty sure they've outlawed "ridiculing Australian censorship laws" a few years ago, so this post is a prime example of what's not legal.

As well as declaring all...

[Dahamma]

...recent murders committed, houses burgled, cars stolen, heiresses kidnapped, parking tickets ignored, and Australian ministers ridiculed.

Re:As well as declaring all...

[medcalf]

Oh, I didn't realize a criminal record was still required before going to Australia.

Re:As well as declaring all...

[TapeCutter]

"Oh, I didn't realize a criminal record was still required before going to Australia."

No worries mate, if you don't have a criminal record one of our customs officers will give you one at the border.

I foresee great conversations at the customs booth

[Anonymous Coward]

Passenger: So, I read that I have to declare illegal pornography.
Officer: Yes, indeed.
Passenger: Well, I do have something on my laptop, but I don't know whether it's illegal. Would you mind having a look and telling me what you think about it?

something like this?

[Anonymous Coward]

Aussie Customs officer: Do you have any illegal porn?
British tourist: I did not know you still need do illegal things to get in here!

Re:That's Australia for you.

[Dunbal]

Amazing, considering Australia was founded by thieves, murderers and whores.

1. I'd like to declare some illegal porn.
2. What do you have?
1. A copy of Going Rogue by Sara Palin.
(Officer proceeds to beat 1 senseless. A passer-by starts taking video).
3. I'd like to declare some illegal porn.
1. What do you have
3. A video of somebody with a copy of Sara Palin's Going Rogue being beaten with a billy-club.
ad infinitum

is tub girl illegal?

[TiggertheMad]

Makes me want to load up a laptop full of shock-pr0n images, just to I can show them all to some unfortunate customs worker, under the guise of 'declaring' them...

Hope the customs workers have therapy coverage on their health care plans....

Re:ok, i'll be dumb enough to ask

[SmackTheIgnorant]

Who doesn't? C'mon, you're on a flight, several hours long, how can one POSSIBLY go that long without their dose girl-on-goat action??

I like the cut of your jib

[Weaselmancer]

Yes...it's a good idea. Much fun. But if you really want to creep the guy out - go mental with it.

Tell the customs worker that you have a lot of porn on your laptop and you'd like to declare it. Then show him hundreds of pictures of feet. Just feet. Nothing else. And while he pages through them to determine their legality, act like you are fighting becoming aroused. Moan. Drool a little bit.

For bonus points make it something really odd. Bell towers or Volkswagen bugs or cigar smoking women cutting into birthday cakes.

Remember kids - what's porn for one person may not necessarily be porn for another.

Re:ok, i'll be dumb enough to ask

[The Wild Norseman]

That type of porn can come back to haunt you when your wife of 3 years find shit you downloaded back in high school. Lucky for me my wife found it amusing and currently jokes the hell out of me.

Lucky for you, your wife found it amusing and doesn't know how to check time/date stamps on files downloaded "back in high school."

Don't worry, your secret is safe with us.

It's worse than that; I believe they were British.

Thank goodness the US got the puritans. From what I can tell from our politicians they are still searching for their standards.
