By moving to the Netherlands. They've already started doing that.

In other words: If you're female, 5"1 or less and skinny, you're automatically a child?

Australia seems pretty messed up with it censorship. I read a bit about what they want to do with the internet.

The Shortness of Breast Topic

Australia is going too far IMO. Yet, they're still way ahead of China, though.

For a country founded by criminals, Aussies seem awfully prudish and strangely random about what they object to. WTF mate?

The country wasn't founded by criminals, it was founded with criminals. It seems logical that Australia has developed to be so prude and irrational, considering their history.

Gah... this is the most ridiculous idea I've heard of in a long time. I think a lot of women with small breasts are perfectly gorgeous, and plenty of other people also do. A ban like this does nothing to prevent child abuse, and instead treats lots of women like helpless children and innocent people who are attracted to them like child molesters. Absurd and absolutely sad.

Could we please stop the Aussie bashing please?

Also could all of you with a lack of morals please stop rubbing filth in our faces.

Further more the original article appears to feature in what many would call the "gutter press", and as an Australian I have not heard of any such move.

Also hardly anyone seems to approve the web censorship idea, it is just that making Stephen Conroy stop while we have a Prime Minister like Kevin Rudd and the rest of his Labor Govt. is impossible. Come the election (this year or next) they are likely to be removed from power.

Edit: Also could I request that this discussion be moved to the Adult section.

We'll stop the Aussie bashing when the Aussies start showing a bit of sense. In the meantime, insisting that Australian censorship is overblown while simultaneously complaining about the morality of other posters and attempting to get the thread moved to a section where not everyone can see it is a tad counter-productive.

What a typical Neuro-Typical response. Can't anyone address an issue without banning something? Seriously this just shows the complete and utter idiocy of the people endorsing the ban. Unreal.

Replace "Neuro-Typical" with either "Liberal" or "Conservative", and you've got the modern political discourse. Frightening, really.

There are a lot of, well, normal people (for want of a better word) in Australia who think this stinks too.
