Reply to comment by Chief_Beef_BC in Tasmanian flower farmer ‘shocked’ to learn she planted opium poppies by mistake by AsslessBaboon

Australia is the country which tried to introduce minimum breast and hip dimensions for pornography actresses, out of fear that particularly lithe ladies might "excite paedophiles."

So yes, Australia is well-known for being overly-paternalistic in its regulations, and this coming from someone who is constantly screaming for more regulations.

Wouldn't that be a good thing? If pedos are jerking off to adults rather than actual children?

Are you expecting backwards-ass, patriarchial, moralizing lawmakers to make laws and public policy that make sense from a "how do we shape the law to cause the most good for the most people without doing harm to anyone"?

Because they're coming at this from the perspective of "those people are ways that we don't like, how can we shape the law to inconvenience, harm, and kill them as expediently as possible!"
