Patten said if the question was designed to stop child pornography being smuggled into the country then the question should have been asked about "child pornography", without encompassing regular porn.
Hetty Johnson, chief executive of child protection group Bravehearts, agreed with Patten that the question was too broad. She said it should only apply to illegal pornography.
"If it said child porn I'd be 100 per cent behind it - if you're carrying child pornography then you deserve everything you get," she said in a phone interview.
That's brilliant. They'll surely catch everyone who tries to smuggle illegal pornography into the country, by making them verify on a form that they are indeed carrying.
Our current Federal Government is Not Very Good. They'll be out of power later this year anyway. I wonder if Conroy will try to get his Great Firewall of Canberra in before they get kicked out of office?
