Australian Webmasters Must Read.

The Eros foundation which is our peak lobby group here and a helpful resource to those in need is launching themselves as a politcal party to campaign against the BS situation we find ourselves in at the moment where Family First and Nick Xenophon can hold the balance of power and we're looking at the most socially conservative internet push ever from Labor. Essentially it looks like censorship at ISP level is going to go ahead. And there are already calls for it to extend to all pornography not just X rated as well as gambling. This is our chance to fight back against the religous freaks that always seem to find a way to exert influence far out of proportion to their size and want to treat us all as though we're children. When they finally let up from ACTUALLY abusing children in churches they manage to abuse them by using them in arguments for censorship and abdicating all parental responsibility.

Regardless of whether you are left or right, liberal, labor, green or independant.. this is your chance to stand up and fight for your business, your industry and your freedoms. We can't afford to go the way or China or Iran and become the laughing stock of the western democracies.

Please seriously consider joining the party:

Party spokeswoman and CEO of the Eros Association Fiona Patten said the party planned to campaign on issues such as censorship, the federal government's promised internet filter, health benefits for sex workers, gay marriage and paid maternity leave.

It's a shame they chose "Australian Sex Party" as their name. I think that is guaranteed to even further polarize support against them.

The bigger shame is that the issue is not about sex - it's about abuse of the freedom to choose, as an educated adult, the content that you want to watch.

This is an issue of personal freedoms, not sex. I think their first order of business should be to change their moniker to something that will resonate beyond sex workers.

I agree with their platform, but I wouldn't support a party called "The Sex Party"
