You'll wear your knees out Runner, with all your worrying.
How about this:

Profile of a typical Internet porn user:
Male, under the age of 35 years, heterosexual.
He could come from any part of Australia although Queensland and Western Australia consume more pornography per head than any other state or territory.
He is an average income earner, bringing home about $40,000 a year, and probably lives in the suburbs.
He votes for major parties and is just as likely to back Labor as the Coalition but he's also religious, probably Christian.
He has a good social life with friends, family and work colleagues and he's in a monogamous relationship.
Didn't we read recently of one of those Hillsong types who fibbed about his cancer to hide his alleged porn addidiction?
Not sure how faked cancer and a love of porn are related but the interesting part of this story is the link between 'backwoods' states, like WA and Qld, where the 'iggerant' so lurv God, and the higher incidence of porn and 'fambly' problems.
Does Runner play the banjo by any chance?
On top of that is Rudd's need to look-sound-feel a 'real' Christian, and his need not to be either outdone by the new convert M Turnsbull or to offend the dullest man in the Senate, from the AOG party-of-heaven.
Rudd should consider how 'revolutionary' his 'edumacation revolution' will be when the kiddies computers are running at 486 speeds in the classrooms.
No sooner logged on than it will be time to leave for the next class.
Well, he did say he was from Qld didn't he?
The 'smart' state.
