pornography in Aboriginal communities
Media
Release: Australian Federation for the Family
June 25, 2007
This
may be our biggest and most significant
victory ever!
We
would never have been able to see this day
without the tenacity of our members!
Thank
the Prime Minister for taking the first
step in honouring his promise to ban X Rated
material in the Territories.
Questions
for the Prime Minister:
- If
nothing is wrong with X rated pornography
why is it banned in all of our states?
-
When are you going to follow through on
your promise to ban this same material
in the Territories?
- You
must be aware of the research linking
hard core pornography to sexual violence
so when can we expect the same protections
for ALL residents in the Territories?
Promise
- "It was during my leadership that the
Liberal Party first embraced a policy of
banning X Rated videos in the ACT."
John
Howard Promise - "When in government we
intend to ban X Rated videos from being
sold and distributed in the Territories."
Ian McLachlan Promise - "… to ban X Rated
material is Coalition policy."
Kevin
Andrews Promise - Because "pornography degrades
women" and because of the "research noting
the links between pornography and sex crime,
we will close the loophole allowing X rated
videos to be mailed out from the ACT…" past
Senate President Margaret Reid.
By
taking the action of banning hard core pornography
in the Aboriginal communities Prime Minister
Howard is confirming that he knows pornography
causes harm.
Scientific
research proves that hard core pornography
causes the rape and sexual molestation of
women and children.
The
Prime Minister and his Cabinet colleagues
now acknowledge this by banning pornography
in Aboriginal communities.
ACTION:
Please
contact Prime Minister John Howard, Aboriginal
Affairs Minister Mal Brough and Attorney
General Philip Ruddock, Parliament House,
Canberra ACT 2600 and thank them for taking
this courageous stand in the Aboriginal
communities.
Also, and this is very important, ask them
when we can expect them to honour their
promise to place the same simple restrictions
on X rated, hard core pornography in the
Territories.
Please don't let them say it can't be done.
It
is already law in all of our states and
is now to be law in Aboriginal communities.
ALL
residents in the ACT and the Northern Territory
deserve the same protections!!!
