Book me in.
The States have caved into, our fascist Attorney-General, Philip Ruddock’s attempts at tightening literature classification laws in an attempt to “combat terrorism”, read: turn Australia into autocracy.
Of course it will only affect: “Material which urges or advocates terrorist acts” which, “should not be available for sale,” said Ruddock. “We are not about curtailing freedom of speech.”
Oh, then why does the article also mention:
He also wants reality television checked by classification rules less tolerant of sex and nudity.
And what this has to do with terrorism is anybody’s guess:
Mr Hulls also called for a national approach to people who take lewd photographs without subjects’ knowledge.
He said the use of mobile phone or pen cameras for practices such as so-called “upskirting” - snapping pictures up a woman’s skirt - had forced the issue to be addressed.
Not that that’s a cool thing to do, I’m just a bit perplexed at its inclusion in an article about banning “books of hate” (in rhetoric speak).
