You might want to rethink what you bring along with the next time you’re flying out of Australia. Anything kinkier than [use your imagination, we’re only PG13] may break new laws in the country.
It would seem that tourists are now required to declare whether they’re bringing pornography into the country. If officials think your hidden inhibitions aren’t Australia-friendly, you might be looking at jail time. Ruh-roh.
And to no one’s surprise, the Australian Sex Party is outraged by this move. Which is actually understandable, when you factor in that the lack of a formal definition of pornography regarding this change means that all decisions will be literally subjective and almost never objective. Of course, that’s not to say that the intentions aren’t in the right place: the changes were essentially brought about to combat child pornography (it’s better to think about the children rather than think about the children).
Of course, we all know that old adage about the best of intentions-they just don’t apply to people that like to dress up like giraffes.
