I think we can survive as adults the sight of a man's erection. I think I really do think we can survive it. We can survive that. The ludicrous notion that decisions for all Australian adults must be taken on the basis of some kind of mythical decent Australian is simply bullying. Now, that's not to say that community standards are completely irrelevant when it comes to classifying film.
Classification is terrific.
Classification warns people what to expect if they go to the movies. We may wish to move on as a society but the politics of Australia is deeply rooted at the moment in the need for these sorts of controls. It's not because Australians want them. If you if you survey Australians and both political - both sides of politics have done this and other people have done it as well. But that's not the politics of Australia at the moment.
