It must be wonderful to live in a country where murder and theft have been eradicated, leaving the police with time to arrest people that film other people doing dirty things with their mouths, sex organs and anuses. God, the Austrailians must be proud.
But seiuously folks, dont you fuckers down their have a constitution with a bill of rights ensuring your freedom of expression?

Most "Westminster style" parliamentary democracies don't have constitutions or a bill of rights. Parliament rules the day. Even ones that do like Canada explicitly say that any rights are subject to "reasonable limits" that Parliament may impose. Thank Gawd we have a big Quebecois [French Canadian] influence on our legal system and Government. Quebec always wants a more "let it be" philosophy when it comes to civil liberties. It was out of Montreal that the court cases came that ultimately allowed for on-premises swinging in Canada. Unless it involved CP or forced sex, I don't think you'd get a conviction for porn today in Canada.
What I don't understand is Australian politics. I thought they got rid of the conservative Prime Minister who was in bed with Bush and put in a more moderate government. Mind you, if the above is a CP issue then that is another matter. None-the-less, all this arbitrary web site blocking we've read about in other threads should be of great concern to all Australians.

There's a reason I never attempted to become one of AW's exclusive 150 wms...
This was going to happen sooner or later... Especially when you can see the Melbourne city skyline in the bg of some of their sets... There's a reason I've never produced / commissioned anything...

That is the age of consent Meatpounder - not the age of majority - which is 18 across the board

No consistutional right to freedom of speech in Australia. The government "classifies" all filmed and written material. X-rated material is only legal in the territories. And Victorian law states that it is illegal to make an "objectionable film."
There is no definition of "objectionable" as such although the usual "community standards" stuff comes into it. If this does go to court I'm hoping they can set a precedent and get this nonsense off the law books. The whole thing has come about because the newspaper instigated it and took a "dossier" to the police who presumably would have left well alone otherwise. 2 years ago the same paper ran a hack piece which alleged Abby Winters was mistreating models. Their sole source appears to have been a disgruntled ex-model but plenty of others came forward to defend AW. This raid is obviously the result of the newspaper's campaign against the site and the work of that one disgruntled ex-model. I've actually always considered AW to be a very good site because of the respectful way they've treated their models. No other affiliate program is as rigourous in making sure that positive language is used. Of course, if they have used underage models then the raid is appropriate. But I get the feeling that the allegation has been made up to get the raid on its feet. The whole thing is pretty damned disturbing to be honest. I'm wondering if this will trigger raids in other states so the cops look like they are "doing something." This despite the fact that most Australians do not have a problem with porn. Artwilliams, we were supposed to get a less-conservative government but that has gone a bit pear shaped. The prime minister is a happy clapper. Maybe it's time I moved to Amsterdam.

Sorry, using my slang again. "Happy clapper" originally meant someone who attends evangelical churches, speaks in tongues, does that whole clapping along thing. The PM isn't quite that bad but he does go to church every week and is quite religious, which in Australia is unusual.
So... no charges laid, no hardware taken. I wonder if the Herald Sun will continue on its crusade?

I am seriously wondering what is up in Australia these days as it seems considerably less free than some supposed "totalitarian" states. That saddens me because on my travels there, people seemed to be generally laid back and of the live and let live contingent. |
