for a world free of sexploitation

To the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General Censorship Ministers - Full Letter and Signatories

To the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General Censorship Ministers.

We, the undersigned, are opposed to Restricted pornographic publications and material being sold where they can easily be seen and accessed by children. We call for the sale and display of Restricted publications to be limited to adults-only premises. Further, we support a review of the Classification of Publications Guidelines, to determine whether there should be more stringent requirements for the display of the so-called "lads'' magazines such as ‘People’ ‘The Picture’ ‘Zoo’ 'Ralph’ magazines etc.

Hi Ambrosia, great to see your enthusiasm! We are currently in the middle of preparing a campaign for this issue. In the next week we should have our new campaign's web page - which will exist in connection with this site - up and running, we are looking forward to it being finished!
Would love to hear more of your ideas too, let us know.

Beth and Tim have done a fantastic job setting up this group and attracting so many members, 941 as I type this. Mark you've been very active on that page, great to see so many people engaging with this issue.

This is really why Collective Shout was created, to connect like minded people who want to do something, so we are just so encouraged by the activism we've seen after Beth posted this on our website. Over the next week we will send a message to all our members encouraging them to take action on this issue.

Added my name to the list - a cause worth fighting!! If your a facebook user check out the group called "stop adult magazines being sold in convenience stores"

Great to see such high profilers using their voice for good!
