Government Owned Site Sells Porn To Kids?!?!?

TELSTRA is selling amateur porn over the internet, charging $1 to download video clips of naked women sunbathing and even wrestling in jelly.

The telco giant, still partly owned by the Federal Government, does not even make visitors to the lewd website prove they are 18 before downloading the smut.

Through its website WotNext.com.au, Telstra shows footage with titles such as - My cousins sexy blonde girl fr, Bikini Pool side, 2 Topless Girls Swimming and Jelly Wrestling 2.

To make the soft porn easier to find, the site even highlights popular keywords such "babe", "breast, "sex", "stripper" and "topless".

Telstra launched WotNext in January, supposedly for bands to post their videos and boost their exposure. However eight of the 10 most-viewed clips involve women in states of undress.

The voyeuristic videos - free to view online - have been uploaded by users of the site who grab an equal share with Telstra of the $1 charge to download the clips on to a mobile phone.

However, Telstra said the website was not supposed to show porn and instantly ordered a review into its content guidelines.

"Some of the current videos and the descriptions on WotNext are an unintended consequence of the user generated site and fall short of community expectations," spokesman Peter Taylor said.

"We share concerns by others and believe it has become a magnet for tasteless video graffiti and will be undertaking a prompt review of guidelines for posting content."

Family groups accused the telco of exploiting young internet users and demanded the Rudd Government intervene.

"The film clips on the site treat young women as sex objects ... all delivered through a part-owned government communications provider," Women's Forum of Australia director Melinda Tankard Reist said.

"Any young woman viewing these clips gets the message all they're good for is to flaunt their bodies for boys."

Telstra, which is 17 per cent owned by the Federal Government and paid it about $600 million in dividends this year, does not specify in its financial reports how much money it makes from WotNext.

lol so THATS how ya avoid the dreaded knock on the door.. ya give the govenment a piece of the action...

Telstra doesn't care. They are a huge monopoly in Australia and total pricks about it. They've used and abused the ozzies for years.

Brothels are legal in Australia and nudity is ok on public television, except when things went overboard on BB the year before last. Ozzies are odd about sexuality, a lot of contradictions. :baa:
