Oh really CJ. Is it going to kill you that you are unable to perve at least in one arena at nudes? I mean the public is so deprived. They can get every perversion they want on the internet, tune to SBS for some sodomy or simply buy a magazine from Coles or Woolies. Would you like it mandatory for every school child to receive a weekly nude? Give us a break.

What did I say about religious nutters?

CJ Morgan, I note that this council that banned nude artworks is in South Australia, the same state where a woman was questioned over the use of a breast pump. I wonder if Runner comes from South Australia.

"Moral Panic" anyone? You guys are so funny!

A council forbids nudes from entry to a council-/rate-funded exhibition, so "steely-clone" exaggerates the situation as "council that banned nude artworks is in South Australia".

Then again, it appears that such a local backlash is to be expected after citizens - at the national level - had soft-core kiddie porn shoved at them repeatedly by the oligarch-rich / culture-vulture pseudos and more furtive "Uranian" peds. As UNCRC said: "It's that context thing".

"So this is where the hysterics, prudes, wowsers and other assorted philistines are taking us:

<< 'Prudish' council bans nude artwork entries >>

No doubt the religious nutters and other sexually repressed types will celebrate this return to the 1950s."

A ban on adult nudes in art is a different issue to the debate in question here which is about artists using photographs of child nudes.

Bronwyn “A ban on adult nudes in art is a different issue to the debate in question here which is about artists using photographs of child nudes.”

Apart from the age, assuming appropriate consent is obtained for release, what is the difference?

Both children and adults have been depicted in art since people put muddied hand to cave wall.

We have a few folk who seem to be obsessed in banning the creative spirit because the subjects are ‘children’.

When creativity is banned in any form, it makes for a poorer world.

Whilst you may support making the world a poorer place, I do not

Whilst I look at a lot of ‘creative art’ and think it is crap, I do not seek to ban it, the same way I do not seek to ban the writings of say David Irving, the holocaust denier.

Life is better when people are respected sufficiently to decide, for themselves, what ‘creative art’ they choose to view, read or listen to, rather than being censored from forming their own conclusion.

As for the pedophile thing, fast cars attract hoons and dangerous street racers, should we ban picture of fast cars because some innocent driver might get killed in collision with a hoon?
