I didn't know there was a Australian Sex Party. Can we vote for them :-)
This porn thing is really getting out of hand in Australia, first they tried to block web pages, now this. I've never been there, but my naive picture gained from the movies (admittedly not a reliable source, but nevertheless a data point) is that they seem to be quite a normal bunch and not a prudish, bible-thumping, porn-hating crowd. So, which part of the Australian society backs this anti-pron movement, I wonder.
- prawn 16y agoThe Sex Party is actually pretty sensible and, under our voting system, worth a vote. Unlike the US system (as an example - not sure where you're from) we can vote for minor parties and then preference our preferred major (Liberal or Labor) party. Australia is not overly religious, generally speaking, but both major party leaders are reasonably prudish, Abbott (Liberal, in opposition) very openly so. Many other politicians don't really show any outwardly obvious signs of being religious. The lobbyists and so on must be more powerful than we realise because this "censor the internet" and "search for porn" pressure is coming from no one I know and comments online seem to mostly favour the "This is ridiculous" line of thinking. Very sad to see what is a decent country take these backward turns for the worse.
