Sure, but it doesn't happen without luck and/or some kind of exploitation of others

Almost no one on the planet makes millions from their own hard work - they get others to make it for them

Umm, Ya know, In the 45 years I've lived here, in other words my whole life down under....... I'd never heard of anyone leaving our fair shores for ever and moving too China or Cuba or North Korea

Ok, I'll bet you a million you have



Right, I won that. Does that make me a self-made millionaire?

But I admit, if I lived in Australia, I probably wouldn't leave. I'd miss the cold, the snow, and winter darkness though

Apologies if this was covered previously.

I saw on the internet that x-rated porn is illegal to rent, buy, possess in Australia except for the ACT and Queensland. That got me wondering and I started doing a few searches on the internet.

What I learned on the internet (other than ACT means Australian Capital Territory), is that it depends on who you ask. I'm getting the idea that the rules vary somewhat from state to state. All states agree that bad stuff, like child porn, is not tolerated. But for other types the rules vary and sometimes aren't even enforced even though they exist.

I understand that one can't believe everything they read on the internet. So, I thought I'd ask, . . .on the internet, what are the rules? Is downloading treated differently, is possessing really okay though buying isn't?

I am fascinated by this place.

The Aussie porn thread most likely covers all the bases about porn in Australia
even if it is a few years out of date

I havent kept up with the actual laws but the Australian site abby-winters having to leave Melbourne Victoria and take up base in Holland kind of tells its own story about how backward we really are towards porn.

From what i read about 5/6 years ago the Australia adult industry in relation to dvds was largely full of criminals/pirates,70% of the industry estimated to be as such,who the cops raid every now and then in the territories and confiscate large masses of cheap imported dvds.

The owning of it,as long as its not illegal is OK

As to where they've drawn the line I really couldnt say with any accuracy
but i'm pretty sure they throw me in jail for a lot of stuff on my PC knowing their conservative religious values

We in Adelaide actually deported that rich skunk

Miss the cold snow winter darkness etc
- we have concrete Zoo enclosures made to fit

Those threads are really interesting reads. Any chance the political climate may change?

[buttsie]

When they bring back feeding Christians to the lions would be my best guess

Politicians being what they are only follow agendas that win them votes

A Pro-porn stance would be political suicide even if the bastards are consuming it themselves

Bloody Hell...

Tony Abbott is the Leader of the Opposition? I used to think Gordon Brown has something wrong with him somewhere. There must be someone better than Tony Abbott in the Australian Liberal Party.
