Senate Report Calls for national porn censorship in Australia and axing of ‘artistic merit’ defense

from www.blacktownsun.com.au – AUSTRALIA’S censorship system is fundamentally flawed, it fails to protect children from pornography and it does not prevent the legal availability of ”graphic depictions of actual sex” in some places, according to a Senate committee report.

It wants an overhaul of the classification system and tighter rules introduced to meet community concerns about the sexualisation of society and the objectification of women.

A ”truly” national scheme would ensure explicit material that is banned from sale in some states – including NSW – is not available in other parts of the country, such as the ACT or the Northern Territory, it said.

It found that concerns about sexual violence were being ignored by the system, as was the general rule that an R18+ classification meant ”simulation, yes – the real thing, no”. Instead, ”numerous films” showing graphic sex had been rated R18+ and sold in some jurisdictions.

It raised concerns about restricted adult magazines being displayed in shops next to comics and DVDs for children.

The report also wanted ”artistic merit” defences to child pornography offences axed from all parts of the country. ”Sexualised images of naked children can be exhibited in public galleries under the guise of ‘art’,” it said.

The rules should be uniform for all media, including mobile devices, while references to ”context” should be removed given the committee’s finding they were helping to push explicit material into lower classifications.

Self-regulation of complaints about advertisements would be retained, subject to an appeal to the Classification Review Board, although industry groups opposed that call.

The Communications Council said that would offer ”no real improvement”.

The report’s recommendations for immediate action were not supported by the committee’s two government members, senators Patricia Crossin and Mark Furner, as the government had asked the Australian Law Reform Commission to conduct a review too.
