The wording is identical to the wording in the various
classifcations acts of the Federal and State governments, and
also to the "prohibited import regulations" of the Customs Act of
1901 which covers restriced material to be imported into
Australia, but with the proviso ".. to the extent they should not
be so imported" which in my opinion adds even more vagueness to
vagueness they already express.
The liberals when they came to power deleted paragraphs in the
prohibited import regulations which prohibit the importation of
bestiality, which is no doubt why it's on sale (in video form)
freely in Sydney and various suburbs of Sydney.
It's rather ridiculous to be outlawing such things on the
Internet when I can purchase a $2.20 return rail ticket and
purchase (quite openly) video tapes of rape and bestiality.
... in my humble honest opinion that is. (sigh)
